Which Einstein are we discussing here? There was Albert Einstein, the
physicist/mathematician, and there was Alfred Einstein, the musicologist.
People often confuse the identities of these two men, or sort of lump them
together under the general sobriquet, "Einstein." I am personally unaware
of any writings in the field of music by Albert Einstein, but would like
to know of them if they exist.
