Just because a historical source that reports on something, that doesn’t mean that that thing actually happened. You’d be surprised how many historians forget that - and then email me.

Very happy to have received the final reader report for my upcoming book on American pianists in Berlin, Weimar, and Vienna around 1900. Phrases like " a tour-de-force of meticulous, careful analysis of primary sources" got thrown around, while also identifying a couple of traps that I could avoid.
