Schoenberg, Arnold, 1874-1951. Correspondence with Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel, 1906-1943.

Title: Correspondence with Alma Mahler and Franz Werfel, 1906-1943.

The correspondence, which is mainly addressed to Alma Mahler, documents her long-standing friendship with Schoenberg and support for his work, as well as his affection and regard for her and his engagement with the work of Gustav Mahler; it touches upon diverse aspects of Schoenberg's musical career. Roughly 40% of the correspondence comprises original items, dated from 1920 to 1963; the earlier correspondence, dated 1906 to 1920, exists in the form of typescripts. Topics of the earlier correspondence include Schoenberg's reflections on his own aesthetic in a dramatic text he had written; the merits of his wife, Mathilde, and his hopes that she would be included in invitations from Gustav and Alma Mahler; financial difficulties of and support for Schoenberg, including stipends through the Mahler foundation (in that context, exchanges concerning Richard Strauss's opinion of Schoenberg), the formation of a special fund (Arnold-Schönberg-Fond); mentions of Alma's friend Lilly Lieser; Schoenberg's lecture on Mahler, in 1912, and his comments on performances of Mahler's symphonies; Schoenberg's own current compositions and their performances; his responses to the outbreak and course of the First World War; his conducting of Mahler's adaptation of Beethoven's ninth symphony; his founding of a society for private musical performances (Verein für private Musik-Aufführungen); and Alma's gift to Schoenberg of 2 Mahler manuscripts. Topics of the later correspondence (from 1920 on) include plans for the foundation of a Mahlerbund; Schoenberg's decision to decline the invitation from Kandinsky and Gropius to teach at the Bauhaus; the death of Mathilde Schönberg and, later, Schoenberg's marriage to Gertrud Kolisch; Schoenberg's emigration to the U.S., in 1933; his teaching at UCLA and attempt to help Werfel find a position; performances of and reception of Schoenberg's work in the U.S.; his debate with music critic Olin Downes about Mahler's seventh symphony, as performed by the New York Philharmonic under Mitropoulos, in 1948; and his debate with Thomas Mann concerning Mann's references, in his novel Doktor Faustus, to Schoenberg's composition techique using 12 tones. After 1944 Gertrud Schoenberg takes a greater role in the correspondence, and she continues a friendship with Alma Mahler after Arnold's death. Included are a manuscript of Schoenberg's essay about Gustav Mahler written in 1911, after Mahler's death; a postcard bearing a photograph, apparently of Gertrud Schoenberg, in middle age; and the following newspaper clippings: 2 columns of Downes in the New York Times (1 of which includes Schoenberg's letter to him); the exchange between Schoenberg and Thomas Mann in letters to the editor of the Saturday Review; and various tributes in honor of Schoenberg's 70th birthday, published in the Austro American Tribune.

Guide to the National Lawyers Guild Records, 1921-2014

Title: Guide to the National Lawyers Guild Records, 1921-2014

The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) was founded in 1937 as an association of progressive lawyers and jurists who believed that lawyers had a major role to play in reconstructing legal values by emphasizing human rights over property rights. The Guild is the oldest and most extensive network of public interest and human rights activists working within the legal system. This collection includes early administrative records of the Guild, primarily those of its National Office and New York City Chapter, as well as materials describing legal and political activities of many of the Guild's chapters and committees. The bulk of the collection, however, is focused on the court case which revealed that the Guild had been the target of a forty-year covert Federal Bureau of Investigation campaign of surveillance, infiltration and intimidation (National Lawyers Guild v. Attorney General, 1977-1989). Through this legal action, the Guild successfully compelled the release of more than 400,000 pages of FBI documentation on the Guild and its members. This material, along with associated case files, is included in the collection.
