books. I would also like to thank Paul Robinson of the Stanford History
Department, who listened to my ideas, tirelessly read and reread the
manuscripts, and generously offered his encouragement and suggestions.

Finally, I would like to also thank the staff of the Stanford Music Library,
the staff members of Greenwood Press who were involved in the produc-
tion of these three books and who were so very accommodating and
supportive during the revision and production of them, as well as the
family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances who helped in ways that I
could not even begin to enumerate.

All translations in this book from the original German into English are
my own.
