Schweizer Musikzeitung

The Schweizer Musikzeitung (SMZ) is a monthly (9 times a year) music magazine from Brunnen.

[1] In 1861, the Schweizerisches Sängerblatt was created from the kantonalbernisches Sängerblatt; in the same year, the Schweizer Gesang- und Musiklehrerverein (today Swiss Music Pedagogic Association) launched the journal Der Volksgesang, which was added to the SMZ from 1906.

In 1983, the old SMZ was discontinued after the withdrawal of the Schweizerischer Tonkünstlerverein and the Schweizer musikpädagogische Blätter of the SMPV (French Cahiers suisse de pédagogie musicale) were reactivated.

In addition to specialist articles, interviews and reports, the newspaper prints reviews of specialist literature, music supplies, DVDs and CDs[4] and publishes a job advertiser[5] for music professions.

For the daily news on the web platform, the Schweizer Musikzeitung cooperates with the online magazine Codex Flores.
