RILM access
Thanks for posting that unbelievably timely bit of news. I'm using the coronavirus 'pause' to (re-)explore an extensive ontology for the performing arts. The drop in air/car travel may be good for the environment, but I have contributed to the death of many trees as the sheets of A3 cascade from my desk. Being able to test the ability of my designs and structures to fully capture a wide range of very rich (musical-related) content will be invaluable. Grazie!

I have a few former colleagues from IAML in mind for bouncing ideas off, but if you have any suggestions for anyone who might span across from the 'preserving arts' to the performing side, please drop me an email.

Music publishing
Hi! There is a History of music publishing which is pretty rudimentary. It could make sense to merge the article Music publisher (sheet music) with this imo, and I would be prepared to support that. If you then wanted to improve it, I would be happy to help (if you want). Then the article Music publisher (popular music) could go its own way (or, improved, merge itself with the History article). Best, --Smerus (talk) 15:19, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finding that. Yes, I think all these articles should go into History of Music Publishing - and then perhaps if enough content is added to the current state of things, that could be forked off to a new article without the need to distinguish between pop and classical. - kosboot (talk) 15:23, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Schenker's "racism"
Bob, I think that some words should be added to the Heinrich Schenker article about his alleged "racism". And I think that you should do that, as principal author of the article. This might however be a sensible matter these days in the US and particularly in the SMT – a matter to which, as European, I'd be less sensible. Would you like to discuss this elsewhere? I cannot imagine, despite my trying to remain anonymous on WP, that you don't know who I am. In any case, I can easily find an email address to reach you. Tell me. — Hucbald.SaintAmand (talk) 19:40, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree. The problem is that so few people have written about it.  I wish I could tell people that when I was processing the collection, Schenker had made "folders" out of the daily Viennese newspapers - and what they said was far worse than anything Schenker said. - kosboot (talk) 01:43, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Two points – and a third:
 * 1) WP is not the place to enter a debate about this. Viennese newspapers could be mentioned in a rejoinder to Philip Ewell, for instance in MTO, but not here. In any case, the quarrel that Ewell opened is not so much about Schenker himself than about present-day American theory and the SMT. (Ewell's mention of the etymology of "slave" is ridiculous: in what sense can an English etymology concern Schenker, who didn't speak English? And Barry Wiener shew in JSS how biased Ewell's quotations from Schenker are.) I didn't understand the problem with Timothy Jackson and his management of the JSS but, obviously, neither that concerns Schenker himself. As to tonal hierarchy being inherently racist, what is one to do of Schoenberg's theories (in Harmonielehre) about the tonic being the king, the other chords his vassals? But, once again, WP is not the place for such discussion.
 * 2) Nevertheless, the Heinrich Schenker article should mention the problem, otherwise it participates in the silence. There are some writings that could be mentioned about it, e.g. Carl Schachter's "Elephants, crocodiles, and Beethoven" (Theory and Practice 26, 2001), or Martin Eybl, Ideologie und Methode, Tutzing: Hans Schneider, 1995, or Nicolas Meeùs, Heinrich Schenker. Une introduction, Liège: Mardaga, 1993, who writes about nationalist statements in the Erläuterungsausgabe of op. 101: "One remains confounded at the sum of personal frustrations and of bitterness of which such texts bear testimony." If WP mentioned some of these – which, it may be interesting to note, are 20 to 30 years old, i.e. before the translation of Der Tonwille and, for two of them, before that of Das Meisterwerk –, an important step would have been done in giving the matter its true dimension. (I am afraid nevertheless that the debate would not stop.)
 * 3) Even if this is not for WP, I think that if one were to consider the matter more closely, it may appear that Schenker's "racism" exists at different levels and differently at various moments: (a) he share the latent racism of his days, in Europe and in a world that certainly were generally racist; (b) he appears to have had reasons to be contemptuous of the Slavs around 1912, probably because of the Balkan League; and (c) he became frantic after WWI, up to the point of abandoning some of his previous interest e.g. for Rameau's theory of the fundamental bass.
 * Do I leave it up to you to modify the article? — Hucbald.SaintAmand (talk) 09:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I"ll make a start and you can revise as needed. I suspect it will be one of those things which might overshadow the article itself. :) - kosboot (talk) 11:03, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Felix Salzer
He may have been many things, but he clearly was a writer from Vienna. Feel free to add, or if necessary, create, more categories. There are lots of articles in Category:Writers from Vienna. It could be subdivided. Though as I read the article he is more notable for what he did after he left Austria. Rathfelder (talk) 16:59, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Kind of a musical theater question.
Hi Kosboot, I don’t think pur paths have crossed on-wiki before, so hello. I’m here because I have a sort-of Librarian/New York City/musical theater-related question that has stumped several people. It’s a cartoon from Puck magazine, January 13, 1886 (reduced size version linked here). It portrays various New York personalities of the time as characters from Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Mikado. I also dug up the issue text describing the cartoon in Hathi trust, here. Puck snidely compares people to Mikado characters, but what has me scratching my head overall is why? (some pretty nasty caricatures in there). I’m missing something. Can you possibly point me to some place to find the answer? (“Historic analysis of Puck 1886” doesn’t Google very well...)

The reason I’m curious is a Montana reason—the man in the top right overlooking the crowd, “Daly”, clearly is Marcus Daly, known as one of Montana’s “Copper Kings.” But in 1886, I didn’t think he was a celebrity back east (by 1896, maybe, but...) so how did he wind up in a Puck cartoon? (I’ve run this past two other historians and both agree it’s Daly and both are as puzzled as I am) Copper wire was used for telegraph lines, so “the lines of the Western Union hang in festal festoons” may reference his copper mines, and he was born in Ballyjamesduff, Ireland, so he might be the “nobleman from Ballykillrowdy” (definitely sarcasm...) but still... why? Thoughts? Know anyone who might help? Montanabw (talk) 05:15, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi there User:Montanabw - what a very interesting image. I know The Mikado pretty well but I think this cartoon depends on knowledge of the political and social status of the persons represented. Satire is often based on reputation as well as current events, so some of the references could be for issues long before the 1886 date. I did a hasty search on the Chronicling America site, choosing 1880-1886 and limiting to New York - nothing.  But something comes up for Illinois (from 1880). You might want to do a couple of searches to get a feel for what was going on in the U.S. at that time to get a better understanding of the image.  It's so rich it practically deserves an article itself. :) - kosboot (talk) 13:59, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * My thinking as well. Individually, the people are easy to identify on a superficial level (the slap at Elizabeth Cady Stanton is an easy one, for example). A number of them are New York political figures (Samuel Tilden, Maxwell Evarts, and so on.  What I probably need is someone who has studied Puck, I suppose, and knows his standard tropes.  All I found online was someone’s college thesis, though... and not all of it. Wonder who knows 19th-century satire?   Montanabw (talk) 15:32, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking the date of January 13 is so close to the beginning of the new year - maybe this was a rejected image for an end-of-the-year or beginning-of-year issue? Perhaps look at the last few issues of 1885 to see if they had a year end summary that might explain the image. - kosboot (talk) 16:42, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
