One of the longest-lived music magazines in American history, The Etude printed over 10,000 musical compositions over the course of its publishing history (1883-1957). Presenting an eclectic range of styles and levels of difficulty, the editors placed major composers of Western art music side by side with popular composers. This reference volume contains a chronological listing of the musical contents of each issue of The Etude. These entries are then indexed by composer, title, text author (if applicable), and instrumentation. * Reference and Research Book News *
