To the Editor:
In December 1974, Notes (vol. 31, no. 2: 296-7) published my critical review of the 1973 Da Capo Press reprint, with a new introduction by Imogene Horsley, of the 1799 edition of A. F. C. Kollmann's An Essay on Practical Musical Composition. Recent research by Dr. Yo Tomita and myself for a book I have edited (The English Bach Awakening: Knowledge of J. S. Bach and his Music in England, 1750-1830 [Aldershot: Ashgate, 2004]) has established that this reprint deserves additional criticism. Da Capo Press, it now appears, reprinted the text pages of the 1799 edition of Kollmann's Essay not with the musical examples issued with that ...

All of us have given in to the impulse to say something we think is terribly clever even though it might wound someone. Or we make a gesture or joke that turns out to offend everyone. Fortunately, for most of us, it happens rarely. For Toby Young, during the five years he worked in New York, it
