Music sources for Kurt Weill's Silbersee in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1932-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122460274

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 Der Silbersee are the following: photocopies of the autograph full score and copyist's vocal score; vocal scores containing a series of drafts of John Eaton's English translation; and a collection of materials, including sketches, vocal scores, and notes, pertaining to an English adaptation entitled Silverlake made by Hugh Wheeler and Lys Symonette.
