- Summary
- The first installment consists of 2 distinct collections: papers concerning Morton Baum, and papers concerning Hans Werner Henze. The Morton Baum materials include a typescript history of City Center from 1945-1956, including inserted clippings and letters to Morton Baum from Leonard Bernstein, William Grant Still, Jose Ferrer, and others; clippings about City Center, 1965 and about Morton Baum's selection as board chairman for City Center, 1966; program and clippings about a memorial concert for Morton Baum, 1969; and a letter to Heddy Baum from Lincoln Kirstein, 1973. The Hans Werner Henze materials include 82 items of correspondence (chiefly ALS) from Henze to Heddy Baum, 1973-1990; 3 ALS from Henze to Gert and Hilde von Gontard, 1974-1975, with an enclosed copy of a letter from Henze to Mr. Oppenheimer, 1975; pencil holograph of Henze's Piano sonata; and a portfolio published by the Frankfurt Feste '86 containing 5 portraits of Henze by his friend Renzo Vespignani, an essay on Vespignani by Henze, and 5 facsimiles of sketches of Henze's compositions. These last 2 items have also been cataloged in the RLIN Scores file. A portrait by Fritz Wolff of Polish violinist Bronislaw Huberman has been separated from the collections and transferred to the Music Division's iconography collection: PhD 2546.
