Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung

Title page of the first volume, showing a portrait of J. S. Bach

The Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung (General music newspaper) was a German-language periodical published in the 19th century. Comini (2008) has called it "the foremost German-language musical periodical of its time".[1] It reviewed musical events taking place in many countries, focusing on the German-speaking nations, but also covering France, Italy, Russia, Britain, and even occasionally America.[2]

Its impartiality and adherence to basic principles of credibility and discretion regarding the personal position of those reviewed, assured and established itself in a high position as a periodical in the musical German society of the time, exercising great influence on the period.
