Koussevitzky, Serge, 1874-1951. Serge Koussevitzky Archive, 1920-1976 (bulk: 1924-1951)

Title: Serge Koussevitzky Archive 1920-1976 (bulk 1924-1951)

The archive is a collection of correspondence, personal and business papers, photographs, and other materials which document some of the most significant aspects of twentieth-century music. Through his work as a conductor and publisher, and his efforts to commission new musical works, Koussevitzky maintained deep ties with many of the finest composers and musicians of the day. These figures are represented in their personal and professional affiliations with the conductor. In addition to serving as a record of Koussevitzky's life and career, the collection extensively chronicles periods in the history of organizations such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Berkshire Music Center, the Koussevitzky Music Foundation, and the American International Music Fund. Material in the collection dates from Koussevitzky's years in his native Russia. The bulk of the collection dates from 1924 to 1951; it also contains material created after Koussevitzky's death, reflecting his widow's continuing work with various organizations and projects. Musical compositions commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky are part of the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation Collection, and are shelved in ML30.3c, ML30.3c2, ML30.3c3, and ML30.3e2.

Milhaud, Darius, 1892-1974. Autograph letter signed : Paris, to Adriano Lualdi, undated.

Title: Autograph letter signed : Paris, to Adriano Lualdi, undated.

This letter to the Italian composer and conductor Lualdi was written after Milhaud's trip to Venice (scheduled for 13 Sept. 1934); he explains that he regrets not having seen Lualdi before he left. Milhaud was charmed by the "flexible and so attentive orchestra" and also found Lualdi's administration charming and pleasant. As Milhaud's champion, Marguerite Long, wishes to play his piano concerto he urgently needs the parts. He asks Lualdi to send them direct to his editor Monsieur Deiss. He hopes that if Lualdi is in Paris he will have the use of a telephone and that he will visit Milhaud at home for lunch or dinner.
