Music Education from the Perspective of “Wiadomości Muzyczne” (1925–1926)

Abstract

In Poland, over a hundred music magazines appeared in the interwar period. They were divided into several categories: subject and methodological, social and cultural music press, music and liturgical magazines, regional music periodicals, as well as musicological and popular science magazines. The final group includes the subject of this article, “Wiadomości Muzyczne” (1925–1926), edited by the music collector and journalist Edward Wrocki. The article is the first attempt at a monograph elaboration of this periodical, both in terms of the formal and publishing aspects and its content. However, it focuses mainly on educational content, training and professional development of musicians and music and singing teachers in various types of schools (conservatories and music academies, primary and secondary schools, courses).
