Even in theAmerican Institute ofMusicology, the idea is that an edition is something that youcreate forperformers. BN: Adler was not all that much at the vanguard. The collegiummusicum things done byHugoRiemann70 (1849–1919), those all go back.Maybe thereareeditions forperformers that aredistinct fromcritical editions. PVB: Theborderbetween the two iswhenyoustart topublishparts. BN: Ifthey’reputtogetherwithoutexaminingasmanysourcesasyoucan,but really just fromonesource, thenit’snotcritical,eventhoughitmaywork forperformance. AdlerReception intheUnitedStates BN: Youwere talkingaboutAdler reception.Myguess is that coursesonthe historyofmusicologydogettaught intheUnitedStates,andcoursesthat are introductions tomusicologydo include someof the history. I don’t knowwhether this is true of other disciplines somuch, or whether it’s true, say, in Europe. Do they teach courses about the history ofmusi- cology inVienna?And if so,does everyone take them? PVB: I don’t know the answer to that question. I should. Vienna is very in- terested in its own history and its central role in der vergleichend-sys- tematischenMusikwissenschaft.Whether there are real courses on the history of ethnomusicology or the history of systematicmusicology, I don’t know. I didwonder – not to pull you away from that question – about theway that influenceor receptiondoes spread fromViennaand picksuppartsof theoldempire, theoldmonarchy. I thinkof theSlovak ethnomusicologist, Osk#r Elschek71 (bn. 1931), who is very much an ethnomusicologistworking in theVienneseworld. BN: Idon’tknow,forexample,whetherHungarianscholarshipisveryclosely associatedwiththat.TheHungarianshadtheirownmodels,oneofwhich isverymuchB8laBartjk72(1881–1945).Theyweren’t,ofcourse,all folk- song collectors, but even Bartjk and other people were verymuch in- directorofoperahouses throughout theworld.Hehasbeenmusicdirectorof theChicago SymphonyOrchestra since2010. 70 HugoRiemannwasaGermanmusicscholar,bestknownforhissystemofmusictheoryand analysis, which bears his name.

He spentmost of his career in Budapest, but his folk-music research, especially, stretchedacrossEasternEurope.Hedied inNewYorkCityafter immigratingat theoutbreakofWorldWar II.
