In 1921 I decided to go to Europe to publish my works. I took my family with me. I arrived for the Zionist Congress in Carlsbad, where Dr. V. Jacobsohn, then head of the 'Juedischer Verlag, ' bought my manuscripts of 'Sepher Hashirim, ' and Bialik encouraged me to write a history of Jewish Music, the first volume of which he published in the 'Dvir, ' the other four volumes remained in Ms. Up to date. Upon sending the second volume, Bialik wrote me... 'Your first volume is still lying in our store, only a few copies are sold we have no courage to print the second one. ' (My Life: A Sketch by A. Z.
