- To the Editor:
In my review of Malcolm Gillies's Bartók Remembered
(Notes, March1993, 1031-33) I indicated (p. 1033) that "the
most telling remembrance of Bartók remains one…seemingly
irretrievable…." In fact, it is found in Virgil
Thompson's article on Debussy, see his Music Right and Left
(New York: Henry Holt, 1951), 127. Halsey Stevens suggests
that the story is "perhaps apocryphal" (The Life
and Music of Béla Bartók, rev. ed. [New York:
Oxford, p. 45-46] As Italians would say, if it is not true, it's
well-invented.
