G. Schirmer, Inc.

At the date of this preface, Mr. Arthur Farwell has nearly completed his compositions for the lyric choruses and incidental music of the mask.

The choruses will shortly be made available, published by G. Schirmer, New York.

With all three of these artists, I am fortunate in being associated in preparations for the mask's New York production next May.

These preparations have met with many complex difficulties of launching and organization.
