Scope and content

Oxford University Press, Music Department (Editorial), 38A Soho Square, London, W.1. - Believes Trevelyan saw the proofs of the volume of essays and lectures by [Donald] Tovey, which is to be published by O.U.P. this year; is keen to find a 'more interesting title' than the present 'Essays and Lectures on Music', which is not only dull but risks confusion with Tovey's "Essays in Musical Analysis" series. Has been suggested that the essay "The Main Stream of Music" should give its name to the book, but this 'probably will not do' [in fact this was the title eventually used]. Encloses an uncorrected set of proofs [no longer present]; Trevelyan will see that the work will be published in one volume, not two as first planned; both he and [Geoffrey] Cumberlege would be very grateful if he can suggest anything. Is also consulting [Hubert] Foss on the subject.
