Biography

Theodore Hagen was a musician who, in later years, took over the Musical Review, a weekly journal founded by the Mason Brothers in 1853 that dealt largely in trade material and reported on improvements, personal sketches, and manufacturing statistics for New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Albany piano makers. Hagen continued the paper as a weekly, and it ceased publication upon his death in 1871, described in the text as the loss of "this clever musician."
