While the spellings Koussevitzky, Kusevitsky, Kussevitsky, Kusevitzky, Kousevitsky, etc. have become notoriously interchangeable for the four cantorial brothers, during their lifetime (in America, at least) David preferred (or at least was associated with) spellings without an "o", only one "s", and "vitsky" rather than "vitzky". Moshe was associated with the other options. Interestingly, everybody steered away from spelling it
"Koussewitzky" a la the conductor Sergei.
