In researching for articles about late 19th Century and early 20th Century musicians for Wikipedia articles, I frequently find references to Etude Magazine. Etude was published by Theodore Presser and then his company from 1883 to 1954. The magazine is useful to me for its advertisements and for its talking about artists of the day.
The problem with the Etude is that it is very difficult to find copies of it to read. Copies available online often go for $10-$15. Many have been re-published as part of Google's campaign to scan the shelves of university libraries; however, it can be very difficult to find the magazines, due to the nature of the name. Etude is a musical term and typing it into the search field leads to almost anything else EXCEPT the magazine.
The following are links to what I have found online. Others are welcome to tell me what I've missed! Some issues that I found once, I haven't been able to locate again for this list.
