-
Directs users to a catalogue that provides systematic access to this valuable collection of the teachings of music theorist, Heinrich Schenker. A valuable resource for music theorists.
-
This collection focuses on 75,000 leaves of manuscript, most of which are unpublished. These leaves also include music manuscripts, theoretical and analytical studies, critical essays and letters, Schenker's Tagbucher (daily journal) kept for over forty years (1896-1935), and biographical material and printed scores from Schenker's working library, often heavily annotated. The Jonas Collection, one of the two largest surviving collections of Schenker manuscript and research material combines the papers of Heinrich Schenker (1868-1935), Oswald Jonas (1897-1978), pupil and loyal disciple of Schenker, and Moriz Violin (1879-1978), concert pianist and Schenker's closest friend. The monumental Schenker-Violin correspondences from 1896-1935, and the remaining portion of Schenker's Nachlass (not distributed amongst his pupils and disciples, but preserved by his wife and eventually passed to Jonas after the war) are also included.
-
Manuscripts and related material are filed by a box and folder number. These boxes and folders are divided into five groups (I-V) and seven sections (a-g). The general arrangement is made apparent in the table of contents and are label as: I. Heinrich Schenker Archive, II. Oswald Jonas Papers, III. Moriz Violin Papers, IV. Other Correspondence, V. Photographs and Other Portraits, VI. First and Early Editions. Folders are further subdivided within each box and include: Manuscript Diaries, Correspondences ( To and From Schenker, Jonas, and Violin), Critical and Analytical Works, Schenker as a Composer, Research and Teaching: Scores, Editions and Materials, Biographical Material, and Works by and About Violin. Appendix: List of Acquisitions Since 1978. Index. Individual entries are composed of citations with summaries and excerpts from documents such as correspondence or critical and analytical work on Schenker. Documents are identified with codes that indicate their document type. (e.g. TLS stands for typed letter signed.)
