Perhaps Webster > College in St. Louis, where Gerdine was president, could be of assistance. (It's now Webster University, BTW.) Before that, Gerdine was head of the music department here at Wash.U. Here are our library's holdings of Fokker's musical writings: JUST INTONATION AND THE COMBINATION OF HARMO <1949> (WU) NEUE MUSIK MIT 31 I E EINUNDDREISSIG TONEN <1966> (WU) NEW MUSIC WITH 31 NOTES <1975> (WU) SELECTIONS FROM THE HARMONIC LATTICE OF PERF <1968> (WU) UNISON VECTORS AND PERIODICITY BLOCKS IN THE <1968> (WU) The third item is an English tranlation of the second, but unfortunately is not available for InterLibrary Loan. (It's in our Special Collections because it's signed by the translator, i.e. Gerdine.) --pH (manynote@library.wustl.edu or http://library.wustl.edu/~manynote) O /\ "Do you like to gamble, Eddie? -\-\-- o Gamble money on pool games?"
