Music sources for Kurt Weill's Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1929-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122602484

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 Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny are the following: a photocopy of the holograph full score, a full score edited by David Drew (U.E. 9854, c1969), a vocal score with an English translation by David Drew and Michael Geliot (U.E. Nr. 9851 altered and issued as a photocopy), another with English translation by Arnold Weinstein, from 1970, and a third with English translation by Arnold Weinstein and Lys Symonette, and a photocopy of the holograph full score of the final version of Havanna-Lied.
