"The Etude," August 1928 issue, published by the Theodore Presser Co. of Philadelphia. The front cover has the phrase "The Jounral of the Musical Home Everywhere" at the top. Just below this is the periodical's title in white letters, partially superimposed over an image by Charles D. Gorden titled "A SCHUBERT FANTASY." This shows a head-and-shoulders image of the composer with largely pastel-colored vague and ethereal elements in the background. At the lower left is the price per issue, at the right the price per year, and at the center the month and date. Contents include some forty articles on technique, study, and instruction; material on famous composers; jazz music; music outdoors; study for summer; composing; the evolution of the piano; and others. There are also several sections of reproduced scores, divided into the categories of "Fascinating Pieces for the Musical Home;" "Classic, Modern and Contemporary Master Works;" "Outstanding Vocal and Instrumental Novelties;" and "Delightful Pieces for Junior Etude Readers." Many black and white photographs and drawings, as well as a great many advertisements are included. In good condition, the artifact has cover creases, dents on the spine; light soiling; a few stains; a few spine tears; and page yellowing.Lexicon
