Music sources for Kurt Weill's Sieben Todsünden in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1933-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122315228

The collection forms part of Series 10, which consists mainly of music manuscripts: non-autograph originals and photocopies of both non-autographs and autographs. It also includes rental materials and some arrangements by other composers. Briefly stated, all music materials for the works of Weill other than those offered for sale by publishers are included, whether in score or parts, as long as they present his music without fundamentally altering its character. (For more details on inclusion/exclusion, see the record for the whole series--"Music sources for the works of Kurt Weill ...," ID NYWS94-A2.) Of particular importance in the collection of materials on Die sieben Todsünden are the following: a photocopy of the autograph full score; Lotte Lenya's copy of the vocal score edited by Wilhelm Brückner-Rüggeberg (1955); a copy of the full score incorporating the English translation by W.H. Auden and Chester Kallman; and an arrangement and translation by Jason Osborn and Christopher Logue.
