Item 119 - [Letter from Carol Orr [Princeton University Press] to Rudolf Ritsema, May 25, 1976]

2 pages, typed, “codicil contract, Man the Musician” handwritten in red pencil at the front, signed by Rudolf Ritsema in black ink at the end

Orr refers to the conversation about a German edition of the second volume of Sound and Symbol [Man the Musician] between Princeton University Press and Albert Müller Verlag [see letter of March 5, 1976]. Orr points out to Ritsema that the contracts they hold with Princeton University Press for both English volumes of Sound and Symbol [Music and the External World, Man the Musician] make no mention of ownership of rights for the original German editions, which now belong to Hermine [misspelled as Hermione] Müller-Hofmann [Zuckerkandl’s sister and sole heir]. Therefore, Ritsema and Müller-Hofmann are free to negotiate the contract over future German editions without Princeton University Press, unless the musical examples from the Bollingen edition are used. In addition, any new German editions must consider the work provided by the translators and editors of the U.S. edition. Orr asks Ritsema to sign and return the letter if he agrees to the terms.
