In the lower left corner of this page, note the 12 symphonies that you can apply for and receive. In waiving their royalties, and thus making this distribution possible, the world-famous orchestras and conductors that made the recordings stipulated that their names not be used for advertising and that the symphonies be distributed through schools or music clubs or by some method other than customary retail channels in order not to influence the commercial aspect of their other recordings, always considered among the very finest in the world. i DISTRIBUTION BEGINS Wednesday, May 8th, at 9 a.in.
