This indispensable handbook, first published in 2004, explains how scholars and students should work with and think about the composer's working manuscripts. This book surveys the knowledge necessary to work efficiently in archives and libraries housing this material and with the skills and techniques specifically related to sketch studies: transcription, reconstructing sketchbooks, deciphering handwriting, dating documents. It deals with the music of important twentieth-century composers and presents visual examples of manuscripts from the collections of world-renowned institutions such as the Paul Sacher Foundation. The book aims to make the work of both researchers and students more efficient and rewarding.
Industry Reviews
'... a wide-ranging, handsomely presented, pedagogical survey that is intended to explain "how scholars and students should work with and think about the composer's working manuscripts" ... invaluable resource ... The contributing authors strike a fair balance between practical guidance and specific research concerns, and there is a useful appendix that lists the addresses of thirty-eight archives and institutes that house twentieth-century music manuscripts ... offers sound advice ... invaluable ... The author's extensive knowledge of Bartok's sketches is amply illustrated in this chapter ... this information is fascinating.' Twentieth-Century Music
