MLA Notes, March 1980 MLA Notes, March 1980 MLA Notes, March 1980

least one card index of music material bears the letter F if the item was sent to Schloss Furstenstein (and thence to Grussau). Among the items in my own field were three volumes not in either of the two Berlin libraries and thus presumed to have gone to Grussau, but they are not present in Cracow. Since there were some twenty-nine evacuation sites, it is possible that these volumes became separated from the rest during packing. Thus it is possible that some music items may also have gone astray.

For a wide range of musicological interests, the recovery of the Grussau collection must be reckoned as one of the most exciting events in recent years. Not only does it contain large numbers of holograph scores, but there are also collections of letters and many rare early printed works. Such has been the advance of knowledge and techniques since 1939, that innumerable prewar assumptions and conclusions must now be reexamined in the light of this material, while a host of new ideas can be put to the test. It will certainly keep scholars busy for many years. For my own part, after five intensvie days at the Jagiellon, I came away with the feeling that I had little more than glimpsed Aladdin's Cave.

MLA SUMMER MEETING OF 1949?

To the Editor: I am seeking information about any meetings of the Music Library Association

that may have been held during the summer of 1949. The American Library Association did not meet centrally, rather in "seven regional conferences scattered over the country" (ALA Bulletin 43 [1949]: 327). I wonder if anyone can locate documentation or remember either regional MLA meetings, a central meeting (which I cannot document at this time), or an MLA decision not to meet.

I will be most grateful for any help on this matter. Carol Bradley State University of New York at Buffalo Music Library Baird Music Hall Buffalo, NY 14214
