Music sources for Kurt Weill's Firebrand of Florence in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1944-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122630461

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 The firebrand of Florence are the following: photocopies of rehearsal scores from the original production; edited vocal scores, derived from the rehearsal scores, produced in the 1980's; variant versions of some numbers (including The duchess's letter and The little naked boy); and extensive performance materials for the Sarabande from Curtis School of Music.
