Abstract
We are honored to undertake our journey as the new editorial team of Acta Musicologica, following twelve years of Philip V. Bohlman and Federico Celestini’s transformative leadership. During their tenure, the journal strengthened its profile as a publication of the highest quality, comprising an impressively broad array of topics and subdisciplines and adhering to rigorous standards of critical analysis, as well as exemplifying crucial initiatives for renewing the musicological discipline. Bohlman and Celestini established fresh channels for reaching out to new readers, and also expanded the scope of traditional scientific articles through engaging essay series. . . .
