revised and expanded Haba stuff on my site

Fellow tuners,

I've added some nifty color-coding to my 'Haba - List of Works'
website, indicating quarter-tone pieces in red, 1/6-tone in green,
and 1/5-tone in blue.
http://www.ixpres.com/interval/monzo/haba/haba-worklist.htm

One of the sources I used mentioned how Haba continued to compose
microtonal music all his life, but how the percentage of his work
that was microtonal dropped off dramatically after the communist
takeover of Czechoslovakia. This is vividly portrayed on my list
now. It's also made obvious that during the 1920s and 1930s the
vast majority of his work was in 24-tET.

I've also turned my posting of a couple of weeks ago, translating
Haba's article on Schoenberg, into a webpage.

If anyone out there has good knowledge of German and can improve
my translation, I would appreciate the feedback. The original
German text is reproduced exactly as it was printed.
