Full text not available from this repository.The Swiss Musicological Society (Schweizerische Musikforschende Gesellschaft, SMG) has been active since 1899, at first as an offspring of IMG, since 1915 as a national association. Other than its sisters all over the world the SMG never tried to vindicate the excellence of national Swiss music, on the contrary, many statements of prominent members even deny that any music of quality was ever produced in Switzerland. Instead of enrolling in a crusade to rehabilitate something they did not really believe in, the SMG engaged actively in the construction and subsequently in the reconstruction of the network of the international musicological associations, acting as supporter, and catalyst. On the other hand, they succeeded in being the voice of musicology in national academic and cultural societies. The Swiss way consisted in an unlimited capacity of making compromises, a discrete method but maybe the most conspicuous virtue Switzerland has developed.
