I find three > records in OCLC: > #15562358 The Sonneck Society Bulletin. 1987- > #42285049 The Sonneck Society for American Music bulletin 1999- > #44062954 The bulletin of the Society for American Music.2000- > > I have copies of this publication going back to the 1980s and I just > don't understand these title changes. When I look at the cover of the > journal, every cover has the words "for American Music" as part of the > masthead. These same journals also have the running title "Sonneck > Society Bulletin." I haven't received any 2000 issues so I cannot judge > the last title change. > > When looking at the pieces, I can justify a title change from The > Sonneck Society Bulletin (last issues Fall 1992) to The Sonneck Society > for American Music bulletin (first issue Spring 1993) because of the way > information is placed on the masthead. > > The fall 1992 issue has The Sonneck Society Bulletin in a large font > printed in blue ink and for american music is printed in a smaller font > in red ink. The Sonneck Society is on the first line; Bulletin is > centered one line underneath; for american music appears directly before > Bulletin on the second line of the masthead. > > The Spring 1993 issues has THE > Sonneck > Society > for American > Music > > BULLETIN > > the print color is the same for all words of the title; Sonneck Society > is in a larger, bold font.
