Music sources for Kurt Weill's Love life in the collection of the Weill-Lenya Research Center, 1947-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86164805

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 Love life are the following: photocopies of the autograph full score; a master copy, assembled in the 1980's, of the vocal score used in the original production; several vocal scores from different productions of the work; John McGlinn's edited and corrected vocal score (1991-92); several rehearsal scores of particular numbers from the original Broadway production; and vocal scores and arrangements of some numbers cut from the work, notably Love song.
