BOX 1-10, 36-40, 44-57 Music, 1944-2021
Holograph manuscript scores and sketches, drafts, annotated scores, sketchbooks, and transparencies. Final copy manuscripts contain inked-over whiteout and pasted insertions that may require special handling. Crumb's archivist, Steve Bruns, included information for numerous works that arrived in the 2022 accrual. This information was transcribed to the folder or photocopied and laid in. The Music series contains two subseries, one for instrumental music and another for vocal music.
Arranged alphabetically by title of work. Cross references are provided for components of multi-volume works with distinctive titles, namely Makrokosmos, Images, and American Songbook.
