Twentieth Century Journal


History

J.W. Pepper's Twentieth Century Journal appears in some ways to have been a continuation of the publisher's Theatrical and Dance Journal. Both covered the same genres of music: dance music by both contemporary American and European composers, concert selections from operas/operettas, medley overtures, and cornet solos with orchestra accompaniment. Works in both series were published in arrangements that allowed for flexibility in the size of the orchestra. Compositions in the Twentieth Century Journal could be performed by orchestra of 10 parts, 14 parts, or a full orchestra. An ad lib. piano accompaniment was also provided.

The publisher described this series in an advertisement as follows:

A constantly growing demand with us for a higher grade of band and orchestra music for professional use has caused the publication of the TWENTIETH CENTURY ORCHESTRA JOURNAL. We have made up our mind to spare no expense in making these the finest editions published, and have made arrangement with three of the best arrangers in the profession, Mr. Wm. F. Kretschmer, Mr. Maurice Akst, and Mr. F. Beyer, all of New York City. Every number in this Journal has been edited and revised by Messrs. Kretschmer and Akst.
