In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

acknowledgments My profound gratitude must be offered first, of course, to Istvan Anhalt and George Rochberg, who cooperated in this enterprise with uncommon generosity, clarifying countless points of fact and obscure calligraphy . Moreover, both took the time to proofread their respective letters in a draft version, catching as a consequence numerous typographical errors which one is tempted to blame on the computer voice recognition software but which, more honestly, must be attributed to the lazy eyes of the editor. I would also like to offer my deep appreciation to Gene Rochberg, who, since her husband’s death, has taken over the onerous task of proofreading and editorial advising. I would like to thank Dr. S. Timothy Maloney, the former Director of the Music Division of Library and Archives Canada, for taking a strong personal interest in this project from the beginning and assisting me in numerous ways, and to Jeannine Barriault, Maureen Nevins, and the staff of the Music Division of Library and Archives Canada I record my appreciation for their splendid assistance and consummate professionalism. Dr. Felix Meyer, Johanna Blask, and Petra Kupfer of the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel, Switzerland, as well as the Music Division of the New York Public Library, have kindly placed at my disposal letters of Anhalt to Rochberg held in their respective George Rochberg Collections. I would also like to single out Zoltán Bartos (Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest), Paul Landau (Director, Israel Music Institute), Nancy M. Shawcross (Curator of Manuscripts, Rare Book and Manuscript Library, University of Pennsylvania), and Christine Taylor (Interlibrary Loans Department, Carleton University). To my colleagues, Professors Paul Attallah, Donald Beecher, Bryan Gillingham, Elaine Keillor, Gregory MacIsaac, Steven Wilson, and James| xi Wright, all of Carleton University, I extend my gratitude for their assistance on a number of points great and small. A bald list does not adequately reflect my deep gratitude to those— many of them subjects of this correspondence—who generously responded to my inquiries: the late Roger Beare, Glenn Black, Arnold Broido, Curt Cacioppo, Ivan Chan, David Clunie, Lowell Cross, Brenda Dalen, Morris Eaves, Robin Elliott, Alfred Fisher, Donald Gillmor, Joseph Graham, Arlene Greenberg, Beverly Holmes, Fr. Giancarlo Isoardi, Peter Laki, Gord McFee, Helen Mirkil, Monte Keene Pishny-Floyd, Winston Purdy, Michael Roeder, Gordon Smith, Melvin Strauss, Joel Thome, and John Thomson. This book has been published with the help of a grant from the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, through the Aid to Scholarly Publications Programme, using funds provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
