Music sources for Kurt Weill's Stundenbuch in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1923-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/152675261

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 Stundenbuch are the following: photocopies of the copyist's manuscript of the full score, vocal score, and parts of two songs: Vielleicht, dass ich durch schwere Berge gehe (no. 1) and In diesem Dorfe steht das letzte Haus (no. 6); the same two songs edited and corrected by Lys Symonette and Gary Fagin; and Malcolm MacDonald's performing version of no. 1.

Rilke wrote to Werfel in 1913 after reading Werfel's first 2 books of poems, Der Weltfreund and Wir sind. They met for the first time in the same year.

As a result of the success of his Broadway musical Lady in the dark in 1941, German-born composer Kurt Weill and his wife, the singing actress Lotte Lenya, were able to buy "Brook House," in Rockland County, New York, moving there during their sixth year in the United States. 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.
