JAVS Fall 1993

44

XXII International Viola Congress This 1994 Viola Congress has been announced to take place 27 August-3 September on the Isle ofMan, United Kingdom in conjunction with the Terris International Viola Competition. At the time of this publication ofJAVS, no further information was available. Details, when obtained, will be published inJAVS in the April 1994 edition. Paul Doktor Collection The late Paul Doktor's wife, Caryn, has recently donated the remainder of his viola music library to the Primrose International Viola Archive. This was brought about through the instrumentality of Paul Neubauer who was allowed the first option of some of Doktor's rarer and more personalized scores. PIVA is grateful to these two patrons and others who see this archive as a logical repository for collections pertaining to the viola. Prodigy "I 'met' Jennifer VVidders of Fort Dix, ~ew Jersey on Prodigy, the computer information service on the classical music bulletin board discussing viola matters. I suggested that she might be interested in joining the AVS, and sent her a membership form. She told me recently that she has joined. I know there are several other members on the music bulletin board. I have exchanged messages with Michael Kimber (University of Kansas) who has told me that Kathryn Plummer (Vanderbilt University) is also on the service. It would be interesting to know how many other AVS members utilize computer networks to commu nicate with one another. Michael and I have done a good bit of"teaching" and information sharing on Prodigy. Maybe a survey could be run through JAVS."
