Superb! Digitization: Juilliard Manuscript Collection Adds Content by Beethoven & Mendelssohn
December 27, 2009 08:55
From Artdaily.com
Juilliard’s recently acquired, priceless new manuscripts – Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” Sonata and Mendelssohn’s “Elijah” – have been photographed in extremely high resolution and posted with 138 previously-posted acquisitions to the Juilliard Manuscript Collection Web site , where they may be viewed by anyone, just in time for Beethoven’s Birthday!! The clarity of these extremely-high resolution digitizations reveal the pen, pencil, and even crayon strokes (Mendelssohn’s edits after the first performance of Elijah are in red crayon.) of a composer’s original corrections, handwritten notes and instructions, in a collection acquired specifically because those corrections and notations reveal the composer’s mind.
The Juilliard Manuscript Collection now may be viewed by an unlimited number of performers, scholars, and music-lovers worldwide. Forty-two composers are represented in the online presentation of the Juilliard Manuscript Collection, ranging from Arensky to Zemlinsky; as old as Purcell, and as recent as Maxwell Davies, including multiple works by Beethoven, Brahms, Liszt, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Scriabin, Wagner, and many others. A printable list with brief descriptions is available on the Web site.
