History:
French music critic, writer and journalist.
Born on 3 February 1877 in Paris, and passed away in the same city on 27 March 1963.
He wrote under the pseudonyms Jean Prudhomme and Thersite, although in some publications he also used his real name, Jean Ricard. He was a member of the Association de la Critique Dramatique et Musical and the Syndicat des Romanciers Français. A renowned music critic, he covered Parisian productions and events for over thirty years. From 1907 to 1914 he worked for "Comœdia" magazine", in which he published approximately 1,800 articles. He also wrote for "Le Temps" and "Le Matin", contributing some 1,600 chronicles to the latter publication. He co-authored the "Malabar" series with Charles Dornac and Henri Desfontaines. Ricard corresponded with Manuel de Falla, whom he described in his writings on Spanish music as heir to the modern school founded by Isaac Albéniz. His name was put forward as a candidate to produce a French translation of Falla's "Siete canciones populares españoles", although the idea was ultimately discarded.
