Otherwise unmarked.Jacques Handschin (1886-1955) was a Russian-born Swiss musicologist and organist, longtime professor of musicology at the University of Basel and a member of the Directory of the International Musicological Society from 1936. He taught organ at the St. Petersburg Conservatory from 1909 to 1920 before leaving Russia for Switzerland after the Revolution; his scholarship ranges across medieval polyphony (Notre Dame and Saint-Martial schools), the history of organ playing, Russian sacred and secular music, and the philosophy of musicology, and his major theoretical work is "Der Toncharakter" (1948).Memorial volume issued by the Basel local group of the Schweizerische Musikforschende Gesellschaft and compiled by Handschin's former student Hans Oesch. Originally planned as a 70th-birthday Festschrift for 5 April 1956, the project shifted to a Gedenkschrift after Handschin's death in November 1955. As Oesch explains in the foreword (Basel, May 1957), the volume reproduces Handschin's own essays rather than contributions by other scholars, drawing together pieces that had appeared in journals, programmes, and newspapers and were no longer easily accessible. It concludes with the first complete bibliography of Handschin's published writings, compiled by Oesch from a list Handschin himself had begun.Contents: Vorwort (Oesch, dated Basel, May 1957); complete bibliography of Handschin's published writings, arranged in three chronological sections (books and standalone publications, journal articles, programme notes and newspaper pieces); followed by fifty-three reprinted essays grouped informally into writings on the discipline and history of musicology, medieval polyphony and chant (Saint-Martial and Notre Dame schools, mensural notation, the Notker question, Hermannus Contractus, the Saint-Maurice and Saint-Gall traditions), composer studies (Mozart, Schubert, Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Borodin, Widor, Stravinsky), Russian music and Russian sacred song, Byzantine and Indian music, organ and keyboard practice, music in education and culture, the theory of the harmony of the spheres, and obituaries for Erich M. von Hornbostel, Friedrich Ludwig, Karl Nef, and Peter Wagner.
