The Musician Magazine was published by Oliver Ditson in Boston, and was for several years a close competitor to The Etude Magazine. Its editor at one time was Thomas Tapper, who subsequently became a senior member of staff at The Etude. The magazine started in 1896, when it was published by the Hatch Music company, but Ditson purchased it and merged it with their own, older journal called the Music Record. It continued publication until 1948.
