Additionally, Josip Slavensky of the former Yugoslavia composed for microtonal trautonium and we presented this 2 movement work in 1989 in an arrangement at the Yamaha Communication Center in NYC as part of an AFMM concert. Slavensky's piece is called "Music For Natur-Tone System."

The Deutsche Welle recently telecast a half-hour film about Paul Hindemith's pupil Oskar Sala and his trailblazing Trautonium - which he named in honor of an even earlier pioneer of electronic music. The current telephone book contains this: Sala, Oskar - Leistikowstr. 5, [D-14050 Berlin] - (4930) 304- 4552. Good luck! Paul Moor (Berlin) 100722.1351@compuserve.com
