Henryk Szeryng collection, 1933-1988 (bulk 1960-1988).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/253626957

The bulk of the collection is comprised of music manuscripts and printed scores. Much of the printed music contains annotations by Szeryng, and the manuscripts include a number of Szeryng's own compositions. The collection also contains arrangements and revisions of both standard and little-known works, including Paganini's Violin concerto, no. 3, which Szeryng himself rediscovered. In addition, there are manuscripts of composers whose works Szeryng promoted, including Manuel Ponce and Cristóbal Halffter. The correspondence includes letters to and from Isaac Stern, Shlomo Mintz, Yehudi Menuhin, Eugene Ormandy, and Waltraud Szeryng. Szeryng's career as a teacher is reflected in various pedagogical items, including master-class writings and papers and books that detail the principles of the Leopold Auer, Carl Flesch, and Eugène Ysaÿe schools of violin playing. In addition, the collection includes Szeryng's writings; business papers and financial records; performance files presenting an overview of the evolution of Szeryng's concert and recording career; articles, clippings, programs, and publicity materials; photographs; awards and citations; scrapbooks; and books from his personal library that relate to his music interests or contain noteworthy inscriptions.
