Since 1939, when he became William Allan Neilson Research Professor at Smith, he and his wife and daughter have lived in Northampton. He also travels to Princeton for a weekly lecture, every fortnight or so drops by to visit his distinguished cousin Albert. Last year the Princeton University Press published the three-volume book he has been working toward for over 30 years, The Italian Madrigal, which not only is the definitive work on 16th and early 17th Century Italian secular music but a historical study of Renaissance Italy as well.
Einstein will give up his chair at Smith in the spring, but he has no intention of giving up the life of the hard-working scholar. When he retires as Neilson professor he will head for Ann Arbor, Mich., to take on the task of making corrections for a reprint of the 39 volumes of the works of Mozart.
