We welcome submissions from any scholar actively engaged in music research.

Submissions should be 15–30 pages in length (approximately 3,500 to 9.000 words) double-spaced, including musical examples, and should be accompanied by:

• A cover letter including your current mailing and e-mail addresses;
• A 250-word abstract of your article;
