Abstract
Based on recently discovered correspondence of Jacques Handschin with colleagues both in Europe and in the United States, this article examines the web of interrelations between Handschin, the American Institute of Musicology, and the International Musicological Society during the years immediately following World War II. It introduces the circle of Handschin’s American contacts and explores his collaboration with the American Institute and its founder and long-time director, Armen Carapetyan.
