“It is impossible to overstate the signi� cance of [RIPM] for the study of the music of the 20th century.”

Reviewer, National Endowment for the Humanities

“RIPM has proven to be one of the most successful and important—perhaps the most important—projects devised to make musical documentation available to historians of music from the 19th century... RIPM’s steady progress has been little short of a miracle... RIPM has dramatically enhanced musical scholarship... RIPM is reshaping our views of music itself. ”
