3 Fink, a well-respected composer and theorist, was editor-in-chief of the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitschrift from 1827 to 1842. The journal, published by Breitkopf & Härtel through the 1860s, was highly regarded, yet scholars have given Fink’s work only minimal attention, generally emphasizing his ‘tolerant tone and pleas for artistic pluralism’ (p. 22).
