ATTENTION: NEW ADDRESS SOON!
This site will continue into the future.
But after 30 September 2009 its present address (URL) will NO LONGER EXIST!
When the new address of the site is known, it will be announced here, up to 30 September 2009.
After 30 September 2009, those who have missed the announcement of the new address
will be able to find the site simply by searching for "Nettheim Musicology", or just "Nettheim",
in Google or another search engine.
Please click on the year to read the material on-line.
Much of this material is quite hard to obtain elsewhere,
one reason why I am making it available here.
The best article to read first is probably the 1947 Taubman one.
Contributions of more material would be welcome.
