Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung

The Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung (General music newspaper) was a German-language periodical published in the 19th century.

[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.

Much important material appeared in the magazine, including the serialized first version of Georg August Griesinger's biography of Joseph Haydn, and articles by scholar Gustav Nottebohm and critic Eduard Hanslick.

[3] The journal employed the famous critic E. T. A. Hoffmann and published his influential review of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.

Somewhat less to its credit, the magazine also published the so-called "Rochlitz anecdotes," a series of vignettes about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart written by the first editor.
