Since 1993, The Musical Quarterly has been edited by Leon Botstein, president of Bard College and principal conductor of the American Symphony Orchestra. Originally published by G. Schirmer, Inc., it is now published by Oxford University Press.
The journal published articles on a variety music topics. For example, in the publication's first volume, in 1915, the journal published the article The Study of Indian Music by American anthropologist Frances Densmore. In that time, Indian music for Americans was the term for Native American music.[4] Other examples of early articles are the theoretical perspective of the 1922 articles Poetry and the Composer by Australian composer Ernest Henry Clark Oliphant[5] and Music versus Materialism by American author and composer Elise Fellows White.[6]
