INDEX TO MUSIC NECROLOGY Compiled by BARBARA HENRY

This index appears annually in the June issue. It can be used to complete an author's dates on catalogue cards and to note the date and place of death in the margins of dictionaries and encyclopedias. The "Supplement to 1978 Necrology" lists those deaths that occurred in 1978 but for which the notices appeared too late to be included in theJune 1979 issue of Notes. The "Supplement" also includes corrections for any mistakes that were discovered later. In both the 1978 necrology supplement and the 1979 index, the publication year of the magazine or newspaper in which an obituary appeared is 1979 unless otherwise noted. Double vertical lines (11) separate the magazines from the references to dictionaries and encyclopedias containing articles on the deceased. For dictionaries and encyclopedias with supplements, the supplement is indicated if a biography appears only there and not in the main body of the source. This applies to AME, Grove, MGG (A-Rau), and Riemann. "Slonimsky" used as a citation in place of a periodical, indicates that the information was found in a list of obituaries which Mr. Slonimsky sends to the Library of Congress from time to time. As of January 1979, Melos/Neue

Zeitschrift fur Musik, became Neue Zeitschrift fir Musik (abbreviated NZ). I am indebted to Patricia F. Monokoski, of the Northwestern University Music Library,

for the use of the obituary columns she compiles for each issue of their 1810 Overture.

Special thanks also go to my colleague in the Music Division, Barbara Costelloe, for her assistance in indexing.
