Modern music, the quarterly journal of the League of Composers, was published in New York from 1924 to 1946 and was edited by Minna Lederman Daniel. Initially the title was the League of Composers' review. In 1925 the name was changed to Modern music. It is one of the most distinguished collections of criticism and scholarship concerning early twentieth-century musical arts.
