 To celebrate the 70th festival in 1976 Robert Lantaff prepared a short history up to that date.
 
Twenty years later: A number of interesting events and developments have occurred since then which are well worth reporting and have therefore been included in this update (1996). Since the historical background obviously remains the same, I have merely included the original text with suitable amendments and additions.
 
Another twenty years have passed so as the original articles had been lost but have only recently been rediscovered, they are reproduced here for anyone interested in the history...
