Adler, 'Umfang, Methode und Ziel der Musikwissenschaft' in: Vierteljahresschrift für Musikwissenschaft 1 (1885), pp.5-20.3 But note that, while systematic musicology may have seemed to be an extension to musicology in the late 19th century (according to Adler), one could argue that it is the original musicology.The musical questions that occupied European thinkers until the 19th century corresponded almost entirely to the category of systematic musicology (R. Parncutt, personal communication).
