Our appreciation to Kim Robinson and Eve Bachrach for their never ending patience and the stream of helpful suggestions, and to Maribeth Anderson Payne, who oversaw the very beginning of this project that started so many years ago. To Lewis Daniels of the Westbrook, Connecticut, Public Library, ever staunch in his helpful attitude and computer expertise, never less than enthusiastic about spend- ing his time to fi nd the answers to our diffi cult issues—many thanks. To Natasha Lutov, who provided much expertise on Russian song literature and pointed the way to Prince Mirsky’s invaluable volume, containing fi rst-hand infor- mation about the poets—our appreciation. Thanks to the excellent libraries of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, where much of the research for this book was done. Last, thanks to the students who kept their eyes and ears open and faithfully reported delicious tidbits of information gleaned from their experiences in the immense landscape of song composers and poets.
