Review
"Mit der Kompilation und Herausgabe der Aufsätze Walter Bernharts macht Werner Wolf - wie er im Vorwort selbst schreibt: eine sich in der genannten Schriftenreihe konsolidierende Tradition fortführend - die einschlägigen Publikationen eines "Pioniers" in dem Forschungsfeld der sprachlich-musikalischen Beziehungen (ix) in einem Band zugänglich, die sich der interessierte Leser ansonsten aus den unterschiedlichsten Quellen zusammenklauben müsste." - Marco Agnetta,
