Scope and content
Ritsema acknowledges receipt of the contract sent by Orr [see letter of May 25, 1976] and sends it back signed with the approval of Hermine Müller-Hofmann [Zuckerkandl’s sister]. Ritsema informs Orr that Albert Müller Verlag has opted not to publish a German edition of the second volume of Sound and Symbol [Man the Musician], but that he is in conversation with Heinrichhofen’s Verlag. Answering a question from Orr, Ritsema relates that Rhein-Verlag previously published a German edition of the first volume [Music and the External World] under the title Wirklichkeit der Musik, but the edition was not successful.
