Musica. A two-month publication for all areas of musical life was a German-language magazine that Bärenreiter-Verlag published in 50 years from 1947 to 1996. Your last editor was (since 1978) Clemens Kühn . In addition to the many other publisher publications, this was intended as a publication that should cover the German music market as best as possible, as can be seen from the contributions of the various years. In the preface, the magazine declares that it does not want to address a specific program or a specific readership .

It belonged to a number of other music magazines from the publisher such as Musica sacra , Musik und Kirche and Die Musikforschung . In the first two years of 1947 and 1948 the magazine was published every two months, from 1949 to 1961 monthly and from 1962 until the end of publication in 1996 again every two months. In the years 1949 to 1961, the subtitle changed accordingly to monthly for all areas of musical life . In 1962 the magazine Hausmusik was combined with Musica and was incorporated into it.

After Fred Hamel's death in 1957, Günter Haußwald (1908–1974) took over the publication of the magazine, supported from 1962 for technical topics by Richard Baum (1902–2000) and from 1968 additionally by Wolfram Schwinger , who had previously run the Phonoprisma magazine and which in 1971 until 1975 was responsible for the sole publication. He was followed by Hanspeter Krellmann (* 1935) in 1976 , Sigrid Abel-Struth in 1978 and Barbara Barthelmes (* 1957) in 1989 .
