Denis O'Connor Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 As a keen collector of books and journals relating to the organ, I have long sought an opportunity to browse back numbers of Musical Opinion. I understand that before WW 2 there was often good debate in the columns of that publication,debate to which some of the leading lights in the organ world contributed. I have never seen such volumes advertised for sale or disposal. Do any members of this forum know where such volumes can be found? I don't really want to spend hours in the British Library (especially since it is a long way from Gloucester!) Any help would be appreciated.

mrbouffant Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Are they not all online via the JSTOR archive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis O'Connor Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Are they not all online via the JSTOR archive? I have just checked the JSTOR website and they don't hold Musical Opinion,nor The Organ for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Back numbers of "The Organ" do occaisionally surface - I'm slowly building up my collection - but I don't recall seeing any recent adverts for Misucal Opinion. I know that Cambridge University Lirbrary has a full set of both - and I'm pretty sure that the RCO library & British Organ Archive (both currently in Birmingham) have sets. Maybe there's a university library in your area that can help. Every Blessing Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
