| FORM 990 | 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. IN ITS FORTY YEARS, THE TRUST HAS BUILT A RESPECTED CATALOGUE OF MORE THAN A HUNDRED PUBLICATIONS. THE INCOME OF TRUST PUBLICATIONS HAS COME ALMOST ENTIRELY FROM SALES OF ITS PUBLICATIONS. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, THE TRUSTEE AND CO-TRUSTEE, ADVANCING IN YEARS AND SEEKING TO PRESERVE THEIR OWN WORK AND THE WORK OF THE EDITORS WHO PREPARED THE TRUST'S EDITIONS, CONCLUDED THAT THE BEST MEANS FOR DOING SO WOULD BE TO DONATE THE TRUST'S ASSETS TO AN ORGANIZATION WITH A COMMITMENT TO MUSICOLOGY CONSISTENT WITH THEIR OWN. THEY IDENTIFIED THE 3,400-MEMBER AMERICAN MUSICOLOGICAL SOCIETY (THE AMS, CERTIFIED BY THE IRS AS A 501 (C) 3 CORPORATION, AS SUCH AN ORGANIZATION, AND AFTER NEGOTIATION, THE TRUSTEES MADE A GIFT OF ALL OF ITS ASSETS, INCLUDING INVENTORY OF PUBLICATIONS, RIGHTS IN THE PUBLICATIONS, AND CASH, TO THE AMS, WHICH, AS A CONDITION OF THE GIFT, UNDERTOOK TO MAKE TRUST PUBLICATIONS ACCESSIBLE TO PERFORMERS, RESEARCHERS, AND STUDENTS BY, AMONG OTHER POLICIES, PLACING THEM ONLINE IN DIGITAL FORMS FOR AMS MEMBERS.

MULVEY (ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL) WAS ISSUED ON 26 OCTOBER 2023. THE STATEMENT IS APPENDED AND MADE A PART OF THIS RETURN. THE TIME SINCE RECEIPT OF THE STATEMENT OF NO OBJECTION HAS BEEN TAKEN UP WITH THE COMPLETION OF FORMALITIES, INCLUDING THE PREPARATION OF THIS RETURN. THE 5000.00 RETAINED BY THE TRUSTEES HAS BEEN EXPENDED ENTIRELY IN MEETING THE EXPENSES OF DISSOLUTION (MOSTLY PROFESSIONAL FEES), AS DETAILED IN PART IX OF FORM 990 AND SCHEDULE N. THE TRUST'S ASSETS WERE REDUCED TO 0 BYITS CHECK IN PAYMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES; THE CHECK CLEARED ON NOVEMBER 27, 2023, AND BY OPERATION OF NEW YORK LAW, WHICH REGARDS A TRUST AS TERMINATED WHEN IT HAS NO ASSETS, THE TRUST TERMINATED ON THAT DATE. |
