Summary/Abstract: Since the 1930s, Słupsk-born Eberhard Preußner (1899-1964), who would later becomepresident of the Akademie Mozarteum Salzburg, had been ranking among Leo Kestenberg’s(1882-1962) most important colleagues. From 1930 to 1943 he was the editor of the periodical “Die Musikpflege” which was changed into an official institution following the Enabling Act of 1933. This article systematically and critically pursues thequestion if and how this periodical, for which Preußner had been able to recruit numerouscompetent and high-profile authors, has contributed to supporting Kestenberg’s conceptof a music-reform in its first three year’s issues before his compulsory retirementand emigration.
