In Memory of Eugene K. Wolf

We lament the passing on 12 December 2002 of Eugene K. Wolf, who worked with A-R Editions for over 25 years on more than 60 editions as series editor for Recent Researches in the Music of the Classical Era, having helped us to give shape to the series almost from the time it began. As a musicologist, he made important contributions to the field in his books and articles about the music of the classical era, and especially on the music of Mannheim. The quality of Gene’s work was recognized in the awards he received, including those from the American Musicological Society and the Music Library Association. Those who know Gene would comment on his outstanding and thorough scholarship in the same breath in which they remarked about his extraordinary kindness and generosity. Gene was a remarkable individual, and one who will be greatly missed. We at A-R Editions appreciate the years of excellent leadership that he gave our series, and it was a pleasure for us to know him.
