Music sources for Kurt Weill's Dreigroschenoper in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1928-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122520699

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, wèther 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 manuscripts and rental materials for the works of Kurt Weill ...," ID NYWS94-A2.) Of particular importance in the collection of materials on Die Dreigroschenoper are the following: photocopies of the autograph full and vocal scores; the Universal-Edition full score c1928, 1956 (rental material); parts issued by the same publisher as rental material; photocopies of the annotated set of manuscript parts used by Theo Mackeben (the original conductor of the work); materials used for the production of Blitzstein's adaptation of the work as The threepenny opera; and photocopies of the original vocal score and of various orchestrations of Lucy's Arie.
