INDEX TO MUSIC NECROLOGY

Compiled by Janet Rhoads Pinkowitz

This index appears annually in the June issue. It can be used to complete an author's dates on catalog cards and to note the date and place of death in the margins of dictionary articles. The "Supplement to 1974 Necrology" lists those deaths that occurred in 1974, but for which the notices appeared too late to be included in the June 1975 issue of Notes; the "Supplement" also includes corrections for any mistakes that were discovered later. If there are conflicting reports concerning a date or place of death, considerable weight is given to the information in Nicolas Slonimsky's periodically-updated list of obituaries. (This unique source, a supplement to the 1971 supplement to Baker, is kept in the Music Division of the New York Public Library.) In both the 1974 necrology supplement and the 1975 index, the publication year of the magazine or newspaper in which an obituary appeared is 1975 unless otherwise noted. Double vertical lines (||) separate the magazines from the references to dictionaries containing articles on the deceased. For dictionaries with supple- ments, the supplement is indicated if a biographical entry appears only there and not in the main body of the source. This applies to Baker, Feather (Jazz in the Sixties), Grove, MGG (A-Fiis), and Riemann.
