SCHULHOF, Julius. Correct name to Schulhoff.

SCHUMANN, Robert Alexander. P. 390b, l. 11 from bottom, for Zuccamaglio read Zuccalmaglio. P. 404a, l. 11, for now read afterwards. P. 409b, l. 6, for poem read story. P. 413a, in the first musical example the pause should be over the last note, not the last note but one. P. 4136, l. 5, for trombones read trumpets. Add that a complete edition of the works of Schumann has been undertaken by the firm of Breitkopf & Härtel, who are also issuing a 'Volksausgabe' of the same at a very moderate price.

SCHUMANN, Clara Josephine. P. 423a, l. 1, add that she came to England in 1885, 1886, 1887, and 1888. (Died May 20, 1896.)

SCHUND, Joachim, one of the oldest known organ builders, made the organ of St. Thomas's at Leipzig in 1356.

[ V. de P. ]

SCHUPPANZIGH, Ignaz. In the musical example on p. 424b, the time-signature should be 6-8, not 6-4. In the first bar of the fourth stave of the same, the treble clef should be restored before the word 'Wir.'

SCHWARBROOK, Thomas, a German, was in the employ of Renatus Harris, the organ builder. Early in the 18th century he left London to live at Warwick, and built many noble instruments. His masterpiece was the organ of St. Michael's, Coventry, built in 1733, which cost £1400. The latest mention of him is in 1752, when he improved the organ of Worcester Cathedral. See vol. ii. p. 596a.

[ V. de P. ]

SCORDATURA. In the second musical example it should be mentioned that the player reads the music as if the scordatura had not been introduced, so that the first phrase sounds in the key of A. Line 4 below the example, for (a) read (c).

SCOTISH MUSIC. P. 451b, at the bottom of the column should be added a notice of the excellent set of twelve Scotish songs arranged by Max Bruch, and published by Leuckart of Breslau.
