The International Society for Musicology (IMS / IGMw) is the oldest international association of musicologists and has been active without interruption since it was founded in Basel in 1927. in the eyes of many observers, the simplistic definition of historical musicology as research into western art music that has been handed down in writing has created a distorted image of the IMS as a "European" society. This was not the intention of the founders. and it does not correspond to today's situation in society. The fascinating story, written by 21 co-authors, which this book tells, reconstructs the role of the protagonists of the globally active IMS to this day.
