Twentieth-Century Music

Aims & Scope

Twentieth-Century Music seeks to transcend traditional boundaries within musicology that often keep scholars working in diverse fields apart.

We publish outstanding work in the fields of popular music studies and music sociology, ethnomusicology, media, sound art and film music studies and historical musicology and welcome submissions with a broad intellectual and disciplinary range.

Please send any informal enquiries relating to individual submissions, Forum proposals or Special Issue proposals to Pauline and Alejandro either personally or via the journal administration.
