Jan Williams Collection of Annotated Scores, 1950-1999.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/57681040

The collection contains two hundred nineteen music scores owned by percussionist and conductor Jan Williams.

While some of the performance markings are negligible, others constitute full realizations of aleatoric compositions. In some cases only handwritten notes indicate how a composition was to be performed.
