First sentence: The history of comparative musicology, later ethnomusicology, has traditionally been portrayed as the development of German and American research, beginning in the 1880s, and culminating in the synthesis of the two schools as reflected in the work of the German-Jewish emigre George Herzog, assistant to the Berliner Erich M. von Hornbostel, and later in New York City of Franz Boas.
