Especially in this part of the book the numerous Jews appear and under the title "Messei Requiem Motette_usw." is mentioned among other things: /Jude/ Schulhoff Erwin: "The Manifesto " /after Karl Msrx/, cantata for soprano, alto, bass, boys' choir etc. Very instructive are the remarks about the broadcast of Czech musicians /page ll3- ll6/. VI. H e lf e r t is the son of the historian, who was originally German, but passed away from the techeches. His son VI. Helfert was already brought up in Czech and died in K. Zl! The present book is, not a scientific work, but a propaganda book for Czech and Jewish music. 18810 Under the motto: "Education to Humanity with and through Music", the emigrant Leo K e_s t e_n b e_r_g_ tries to decompose with this book in German circles.
