Music sources for Kurt Weill's One touch of Venus in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1942-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122469660

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 One touch of Venus are the following: photocopies of the autograph full score; autograph vocal scores of certain numbers; the Tams-Witmark vocal score (rental material); an edited and corrected full score from 1991; actors' copies of vocal scores of certain numbers, dating from the original production; vocal scores of certain numbers edited or reconstituted by Lys Symonette.
