Comments from musicians and customers:

“I bought a copy of Heck’s thesis in 1970. As I read through the thematic index in 1970, I was fascinated at the wealth of music which was then unknown and out of print. I thought how wonderful it would be if the music could again be made available. Now this has occurred.”

“Congratulations on a job well done”

“Remarkable … wonderful”

“I am especially delighted at Giuliani’s wonderful guitar duets and chamber music”
