Origins and Development of Musical Instruments

ByChristoph Schnorpfeil

First in date, to a Belgian professor whose name I never learned but who had the kindness to show a British Army sergeant around the Institut Fouad Premier de Musique Arabe (I hope that after nearly 60 years I have remembered the 1940s name aright) and to give me an introduction to Dr. Hans Hickmann, who was then living in Cairo. Then to Eric Halfpenny and Reginald MorleyPegge, who introduced me to the history of our own instruments and to the Galpin Society. And then to Dr. Otto W. Samson of the Horniman Museum in London, who stirred the enthusiasm of his temporary curator of musical instruments once again into those of the rest of the world.
