The downloadable pdf-version differs slightly from the print-version.
The pdf-version is as much as possible 'cleaned' from typos, and the text has undergone only minor editing.
The print version is slightly shorter (315 pages), than the pdf-version here (317 pages).
Therefore you might find a deviation of max. 2 pages concerning page numbers in
references to my dissertation elsewhere. The search function of your pdf-reader might assist in these cases.
The total number of footnotes remained the same in both versions.
However:
In the print footnote 9 had been added by mistake and left empty, and therefore it has been removed from the downloadable pdf-version.
Therefore the previous footnotes 10–23 have become the new footnotes 9–22 in the present pdf-version, and a new footnote 23 has been added. From footnote 24 the numbering is the same in both versions.
– A review of my PhD-thesis by Prof. Dr. Greta Moens-Haenen (Bremen, Hochschule für Künste) appeared in the Svensk tidskrift för musikforskning (STM), 2005.
