📚 In addition to the reading list provided in the credits, James Sinclair's "Descriptive Catalogue of the Music of Charles Ives" (Yale, 1999), built on the pioneering work of John Kirkpatrick, was the primary source for dating Ives' work. Almost all of the dates given are "circa" and based on the best surviving evidence.
