In November 1835 the journal merged with Fran ois-Joseph F tis's Revue musicale , an important and very serious weekly periodical begun in early 1827. From the content of the journal it is clear that these writers were contributors and were not responsible for the overseeing production of the journal's content. The leading articles cover a wide range of topics such as the music of the Sixtine Chapel in Rome, the music of Beethoven, Giovanni Gabrieli and the Venetian school, music at the 1834industrial exhibition, the manufacture of Chinese percussion instruments, Chinese music, and Hebrew music at the synagogue in Vienna. Biographical studies of musical figures include Berlioz's extended series on Gluck, which contains analytical studies of Iphig nie et Tauride and Telemaco . Also by Berlioz is an analysis of Rossini's Guillaume Tell .
Literature also figures in an important way in the journal.
Piano music and pedagogical manuals are frequently treated in the review sections, which include notices on works by Henri Herz, P. Rode, Carl Czerny, J.-P. Pixis, Chopin, and Ferdinand Hiller.
