Dwight's Journal of Music

Dwight's Journal of Music
Issue no.1, 1852

Dwight's Journal of Music (1852–1881, DJM) was an American music journal, one of the most respected and influential such periodicals in the country in the mid-19th century.[1] John Sullivan Dwight created the Journal, and published it in Boston, Massachusetts. Among the early writers was Alexander Wheelock Thayer, who would become one of the first major music historians in the country. Other contributors have included John Knowles Paine, William F. Apthorp, W. S. B. Mathews and C. H. Brittan.[2]

The Journal was eventually purchased by music publisher Oliver Ditson.[3]
