For volume 43 (2026), the Swiss Journal of Musicology is calling for submissions for the categories “Time and Perspectives” and “Workshop-CH.”

In the “Time and Perspectives” section, contributions must not exceed 10,000 char. (incl. spaces and footnotes), and may have varying formats, for example a written, audio or visual presentation of an original historical/musical source, an artist or expert interview or a statement about current events. For this edition, the theme of this section is ‘Authorship’.

In the section “Workshop-CH” we publish selected contributions containing up to 10‘000 char. (incl. spaces and footnotes), posters or other digital formats, which showcase current approaches and questions emerging at Swiss research institutions. This final section is not limited by the theme of the issue.
