Following are corrections and additions to the book, as published, from additional research and proofing:

p. 6 - The original manuscript is now the property of Boise State University, Boise, Idaho.

p. 43 - This tune is called "Jupiter Mazourka" in a manuscript from the Haynes family of Yamhill County, Oregon, which probably dates from the 1860's.

p. 53 - The last note in the melody part of the second line should be a G natural.

p. 65 - There is an extra bar line in the first measure of the 4th staff, which should be deleted.

p. 80 - The omission of the begin repeat mark for the third part of "Waltz from Ch. Bernhard" is one of the few musical errors in Beemer's original manuscript.

p. 82 - The waltz should have a final C chord.

p. 96 - This is actually the trio of the march from the finale of Donizetti's opera "La Favorite," written in 1840. The march was published in many editions in America.
