People like Curt Sachs16 (1881–1959)orAlfredEinstein17(1880–1952).Einsteinsurelywouldnot haveusedHaydon’sbook; to theextent thathe taughtatSmithCollege, hewasn’t trying todevelopmusicologistsat thisstrictlyundergraduate college. TheConceptof aComprehensiveMusicology BN: GlenHaydon reallywas a sort of bridge.Heproduced this concept of a comprehensivemusicology, to be sure, with ethnomusicology in there, butasasortofthinchapter,butit’sstill there.It’salittlebitthewayAdler presents it in his 1885 article.18 There is ethnomusicology, in a little corner. But still. An interesting remark along these lines in the auto- biography,whenhe talks, in about1927,whenhewas trying to arrange forhissuccession,or influencehissuccession,hesays,“well, it reallyhas to be a music historian,” because compared with musicology, com- parativemusicologydoesnotqualifyasafulldiscipline.Nevertheless,he didincludeit. Ithinkwhatactuallyhappened,though,waswhathedidn’t want, andthatwas that thesuccessor inthatchairbecameRobertLach19 (1874–1958),whowas theoppositeofAdler inall kindsofways.
