Music sources for Kurt Weill's Johnny Johnson in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1936-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122583694

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 Johnny Johnson are the following: a full score of a version edited by Gary Fagin and Lys Symonette, materials prepared/used in a workshop on the work at Aspen, Colorado ca. 1980, full score with German translation of Richard Weihe added, piano-conductor score edited by Lys Symonette and Lotte Lenya, vocal scores of Johnny's song, In times of tumult, Oh the Rio Grande, and Song of the goddess with German translations written in, and materials for War play, an adaptation of the work by David Drew.
