History and profile edit
Euterpe was first published in 1900[1] to report the recent developments in European art and philosophy to the readers living in Finland and Sweden.[2] The magazine was headquartered in Helsinki.[3] It was a publication of the Swedish-speaking Finnish intellectuals such as Emil Hasselblatt, Werner Söderhjelm and Jean Sibelius.[2] The magazine had a European orientation, being close to the French thought.[4]
Euterpe came out weekly and featured articles on music, theatre and literature written in Swedish.[2] However, in the first two years the magazine exclusively contained articles on music with a special reference to romanticism and introduced the new generation of Nordic composers, including Carl Nielsen.[1] Later its focus on music decreased, and in its last year the magazine did not cover any music-related article.[1] It was one of rare publications in Finland which included articles on the Dreyfus affair.[4]
The last issue of Euterpe appeared on 31 December 1905.[2] It was succeeded by another Swedish magazine entitled Finsk Musikrevy (Swedish: Finnish Music Review).[1]
