Acknowledgments

It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to thank those people who supported in the realization of this volume. I am grateful to Walter Frisch, Ernst Hilmar, Karen Painter, and Glenn Stanley for helping to identify potential contributors and to music editor Penny Souster for her encouragement with the project.

Parts of my own chapters in this collection benefited from suggestions and readings provided by Christopher Hatch, Edward A. Lippman, Donald Wilson, Janet Johnson, Morten Solvik, David Gramit, Jane Malmo and Helena Sedlá ková Gibbs.
