Dear George, Thank you for your encouraging comment and for pointing out the later Scherchen performance. I don't know how this escaped me before but I have now managed to locate it. However, rather than create infinite confusion by posting revised versions of these articles every time a new performance turns up, or a source is found for a recording I noted as unavailable (a couple of other things have been found or are promised), I will let this material accumulate for a while. Meanwhile, the series is continuing.

Dear Mr. Howell, Thank you for your wonderful survey. You might like to try and locate another Scherchen recording which I heard once many years ago. It came from Philadelphia in the 1960s, if my memory serves me correctly, a live broadcast. It would be interesting to see if his views had changed in the intervening ten years or so. Please carry on with the excellent analyses. Yours, George
