[Smt-talk] More Carter sketches now available

[Stephen Guy Soderberg]

For distribution:

The Library of Congress has completed digitization of another batch of
the compositional sketches of Elliott Carter.  These are now available
on our web site.  This current release consists of the following
material:  

Pocahontas (18*)
Symphony No.1 (224)
Piano Sonata (20*)
Minotaur (108)
Emblems (192)
Woodwind Quintet (141)
Eight Etudes and a Fantasy (140)
Sonata for Flute, Oboe, Cello & Harpsichord (51)
Variations for Orchestra (771)
Double Concerto (161*)

For technical reasons, these are not all complete yet.  Numbers in
parens indicate page (image) counts; an asterisk indicates digitization
is incomplete (more to come in future releases).

Along with the previously released sketches for the Cello Sonata (338
images) and the First String Quartet (538 images), these sketches are
now available at:

http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/search?query=%2BmemberOf:carter&view=thumbnail&sort=titlesort&label=Elliott%20Carter%20Manuscripts


There will be either one or two more releases in the near future to
complete this project.

Comments are welcome.  Please email these directly to me at
