| Theodor Presser and Co. in
Philadelphia published the Etude magazine. It was described as "A
Monthly Journal for the Musician, the Music Student, and all Music
Lovers". Typically about 80 pages, there were a series of
learned, but more often not-so-learned articles, and regular
features (junior etude, singers, organists, etc). Every issue had 20
or so pages of (mainly piano) sheet music in the centre, and
adverts, mainly musically oriented. |
