History

Sovyetskaya Muzyka was established in February 1933 by the Union of Soviet Composers and the State Committee on the Arts. In the first year, the journal was a bimonthly publication 200 pages in length, but after that until World War II the journal was published once a month and was on average 110 pages long.[5]

In 1979, the circulation of the magazine was 21,000 copies.[citation needed] In Soviet times, the journal published articles devoted to the works of domestic and foreign composers, the problems of music science, the development of national and ethnic musical cultures, heritage and education, and questions of the performer skills.[citation needed] The journal also contained various discussion materials, reviews of the concerts and theater premieres, book and music editions, and a chronicle of Soviet and foreign musical life.[citation needed]

Dmitry Kabalevsky was editor-in-chief of Soviet Music from 1940 to 1946.

In 1992, the name of journal was changed to Muzykalnaya Akademiya with new publishers: the Union of Russian Composers, the Russian Ministry of Culture, and Kompozitor [ru].[6]
