English The analysis of a vast corpus of articles from the Parisian musical press of the interwar period offers a complementary perspective to the established historiographical versions of the debate on (neo)classicism. Less connected than one might think to the discussion of Stravinsky’s music and to politics, the theme of a return to the past and of ‘objective’ music raised aesthetic reflections on the status of modern music. The debate offers a challenging case of tension between a ‘culturally informed historiography’ based on the press and our need to classify the musical works of the past.
