Music sources for Kurt Weill's Berliner Requiem in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1929-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/152675252

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 Berliner Requiem are a photocopy of the copyist's manuscript prepared in 1929 for the Universal-Edition vocal score (publication delayed), a vocal score with English translation by Michael Feingold, page proofs for Können einem toten Mann nicht helfen for the projected (later cut) appendix of the 1967 publication of the complete vocal score (U.E. 9786), a copyist's manuscript from 1929 of Können einem toten Mann nicht helfen and Ballade vom ertrunkenen Mädchen, and proofs of projected appendix of the 1967 publication, consisting of Zu Potsdam unter den Eichen and Können einem toten Mann nicht helfen.

From Brook House, and a couple of addresses in Los Angeles during his trips there, Weill kept in touch, until a month before his death, with his parents, who had emigrated to Israel in 1935.
