Michael Tippett collection. 1947-1955.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/181807484

The collection consists of 31 letters to Edward Sackville-West (1901-1965), mainly concerning Tippett's opera The Midsummer Marriage. There is a great deal on the production itself, music problems, and his ideas for casting the roles. Tippett's other compositions are not neglected, and there are references to his Piano Concerto, Child of our time, Variations on a theme of Corellie, and The Heart's Assurance. There is much comment on the general problems of composition.
