Revue et gazette musicale de Paris

The Revue musicale (French pronunciation: [ʁəvy myzikal]) was a weekly musical review founded in 1827 by the Belgian musicologist, teacher and composer François-Joseph Fétis, then working as professor of counterpoint and fugue at the Conservatoire de Paris.

In November 1835 it merged with Maurice Schlesinger's Gazette musicale de Paris ([ɡazɛt myzikal də paʁi]; first published in January 1834) to form Revue et gazette musicale de Paris ([ʁəvy e ɡazɛt myzikal də paʁi]), first published on 1 November 1835.

Schlesinger published editions of classical and modern music under his own name at a reasonable price, most notably works by Mozart, Haydn, Weber, Beethoven, Hummel and Berlioz.

[6][7] Until La Revue et Gazette ceased publication in 1880, Le Ménestrel was to be its main rival in terms of influence and breadth of coverage.

The list of contributors to the Revue et gazette musicale in 1840 included: François Benoist, Hector Berlioz, Castil-Blaze, Antoine Elwart, Stephen Heller, Jules Janin, Jean-Georges Kastner, Léon Charles François Kreutzer, Franz Liszt, Édouard Monnais (director of the Paris Opera from 1839 to 1847), Joseph d'Ortigue, Theodor Panofka, Ludwig Rellstab, George Sand, Robert Schumann and Richard Wagner.
