| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE BROUDE TRUST PUBLISHES SCHOLARLY EDITIONS OF MUSIC FROM THE 15TH TO THE 19TH CENTURIES FOR USE BY PERFORMERS AND MUSIC HISTORIANS. MUCH OF THE MUSIC THAT THE TRUST PUBLISHES COMES FROM OBSCURE REPERTOIRES AND WOULD NOT BE PUBLISHED BY NORMAL COMMERCIAL PUBLISHERS. GENERAL NARRATIVE: THE BROUDE TRUST FOR THE PUBLICATION OF MUSICOLOGICAL EDITIONS WAS ESTABLISHED FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING AVAILABLE SCHOLARLY EDITIONS OF A QUALITY NOT POSSIBLE UNDER THE NORMAL CONDITIONS OF COMMERCIAL PUBLISHING. THE PREPARATION OF THESE EDITIONS REQUIRES EXPERTISE AND ENTAILS EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND EDITORIAL WORK, AND MUCH OF THE MUSIC THAT THESE EDITIONS PRESENT (FROM THE FIFTEENTH, SIXTEENTH, SEVENTEENTH, EIGHTEENTH, AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES) DOES NOT COMMAND A MARKET LARGE ENOUGH TO WARRANT PUBLICATION ON PURELY ECONOMIC GROUNDS. THE INCOME OF TRUST PUBLICATIONS COMES ALMOST ENTIRELY FROM SALES OF THE PUBLICATIONS THAT IT WAS FOUNDED TO PRODUCE AND FOR WHICH IT WAS GRANTED TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. THE TRUST DOES NOT SOLICIT CONTRIBUTIONS, ALTHOUGH IT DOES OCCASIONALLY RECEIVE AN UNSOLICITED CASH GIFT FROM SOMEONE WHO WISHES TO SUPPORT ITS ACTIVITIES; THE TRUST RECEIVED NO SUCH GIFTS FOR THE PERIOD COVERED BY THIS RETURN. THE TRUST PUBLISHES EDITIONS PREPARED BY MUSICOLOGISTS WHO ARE MOSTLY FACULTY MEMBERS, CURRENT OR RETIRED, AT COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES. MOST OF THESE MUSICOLOGISTS RECEIVE ROYALTIES FOR SALES OF COPIES OF THE EDITIONS THEY HAVE PREPARED; A FEW HAVE SOLD OUTRIGHT TO THE TRUST ALL OF THEIR RIGHTS IN THEIR EDITIONS, AND SO THEY RECEIEVE NO ROYALTIES ON SALES OF COPIES. THE WORK OF THESE MUSICOLOGISTS IS READ AND CORRECTED BY OTHER MUSICOLOGISTS, WHO EITHER RECIEVE A SHARE OF ROYALTIES ON COPIES SOLD OR WHO ARE PAID OUTRIGHT FOR THEIR SERVICES. AS THESE EDITIONS ARE ESSENTIALLY ACADEMIC UNDERTAKINGS, MOST OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, AS IS CUSTOMARY IN SUCH SITUATIONS, EXPECT AND RECEIVE RENUMBERATION WELL BELOW THE MARKET VALUE OF THEIR SERVICES; SOME VOLUNTEER THEIR SERVICES FOR NO RENUMERATION AT ALL. OVER THE YEARS, THE TRUST HAS RETAINED THE SERVICES OF MUSICOLOGISTS WHO SERVE AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND WHO HAVE ACTED IN THE CAPACITY OF HOUSE EDITORS, SUPERVISING AND COORDINATING THE EFFORTS OF THE VARIOUS ACADEMIC EDITORS. HOWEVER NO SUCH INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN RETAINED DURING THE PERIOD COVERED BY THIS REPORT. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: THE TRUSTEE AND CO-TRUSTEE ARE NOW ADVANCING IN YEARS, AND THERE ARE NO LIKELY SUCCESSORS TO CARRY ON THEIR WORK. IN 2015, THE TRUST OPENED DISCUSSIONS WITH THE MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, ONE OF THE MAJOR PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN AMERICAN MUSICOLOGY. HOWEVER, BY LATE 2020 THOSE DISCUSSIONS WERE NOT SHOWING PROMISE OF REACHING A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION, AND THE TRUST THEREFORE OPENED DISCUSSIONS WITH THE AMERICAN MUSICOLOGICAL SOCIETY, ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION WITH INTEREST IN ADVANCING AMERICAN MUSICOLOGY. THE INTENT OF THE PARTICIPANTS IN THESE DISCUSSIONS IS THAT THE AMERICAN MUSICOLOGICAL SOCIETY ABSORB THE ASSETS OF THE TRUST, ADMINISTER THE RIGHTS AND COLLECT THE REVENUE FROM THE TRUST'S PUBLICATIONS, AND MAKE THE TRUST'S PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE TO USERS AND POTENTIAL USERS, BUT NOT TO UNDERTAKE ANY NEW PUBLICATIONS TO BE ISSUED UNDER THE TRUST'S IMPRINT. DISCUSSIONS HAVE PROCEEDED APACE, AND THE BOARD OF THE SOCIETY VOTED TO ACCEPT THE TRUST'S GIFT OF ITS ASSETS PROVIDED THAT CERTAIN CONDITIONS BE MET. AS OF THE DATE OF THIS FILING, THE TRUSTEES ARE WORKING TO MEET THESE CONDITIONS. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2017, THE TRUST'S PUBLICATIONS HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED BY THE C. F. PETERS CORPORATION, A LONG-ESTABLISHED AND RESPECTED MUSIC PUBLISHER. THE SERVICES PROVDED BY PETERS INCLUDE STORAGE OF INVENTORY, ORDER FULFILLMENT, CALCUALTION AND PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES, AND REPORTING OF ROYALTIES FOR TAX PURPOSES. FOR THESE SERVICES, PETERS RECEIVES A COMMISSION OF 25% OF NET RECEIPTS FROM SALES. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 8A | THE TRUST IS A SMALL ORGANIZATION, AND ITS BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE TRUSTEE, RONALD BROUDE, WHO DEVOVTES AN AVERAGE OF 20 HOURS PER WEEK, MOSTLY TO EDITORIAL MATTERS; HE IS NOT PAID FOR THESE SERVICES, NOR IS HE REIMBURSED BY THE TRUST FOR ANY EXPENSES HE MAY INCUR. THERE IS A CO-TRUSTEE, CHRISTOPH WOLFF, WHO, WHEN REQUESTED, PROVIDES ADVICE, AND WHO WOULD STEP IN TO MANAGE A TRANSITION SHOULD THE TRUSTEE DIE OR BECOME INCAPACITATED; THE CO-TRUSTEE IS NOT PAID FOR HIS SERVICES AS CO-TRUSTEE, NOR IS HE REIMBURSED BY THE TRUST FOR ANY EXPENSES HE MAY INCUR IN RENDERING THESE SERVICES. THE CO-TRUSTEE HAS NO FORMAL VOTING RIGHTS, ALTHOUGH HIS ADVICE IS REGULARLY SOUGHT. THERE IS NO BOARD OF DIRECTORS OR SIMILAR BODY OVERSEEING THE TRUSTEE'S MANAGEMENT, NOR DOES THE TRUST HAVE ANY MEMBERS OR SHAREHOLDERS. QUESTIONS RELATNG TO OVERSIGHT OF TRUSTEE'S MANAGEMENT (FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A) AND QUESTIONS REGARDING GOVERNING POLICIES (FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B) ARE THEREFORE NOT APPLICABLE. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 8B | NONE |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 10B | FORM 990 FOR 2019 HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE TRUSTEE, SO PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 10 IS NOT APPLICABLE. |

| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 19 | THOSE FORMS THAT MUST BE OPEN TO PUBLIC INSPECTION ARE MAINTAINED BY THE TRUSTEE AND ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST TO WHOEVER MAY WISH TO REVIEW THEM; THE TRUSTEE CAN BE REACHED BY E-MAIL AT BROUDEBROTHERS@VERIZON.NET |
