The Music Index (paper)

To locate articles published prior to 1949, start with History of Music: An Index to the Literature Available in a Selected Group of Musicological Publications compiled by Ernst C. Krohn (Ref. ML113 .K77 1958).

Some periodicals you find will qualify as "scholarly," but not all. Look at the pages in Searchpath that illustrate the difference between popular magazines and scholarly journals. And look at Ulrich's.
