HANS KELLER writes: ' Parsifal is still suspect to many who are reluctant to accept Wagner's Christianity. Do they really think that. for decades, he was looking forward to realising a lie at the end of his life? Is the work. perhaps, a little too beautiful to be properly religious? But a genius cannot be untruthful in his art: it is about truth.'

What is notation, what is it for, and for whom is it intended? Starting with these questions IAN BENT, Lecturer in Music. King's College, London, examines several definitions of notation and concludes that it is essentially 'an aid-to-memory, which has striven hard to become a foolproof means of communication. totally precise, totally unambiguous.'
