Administrative Information
Provenance
In July of 1992, Claudio Spies began the process of donating his papers to the Library of Congress. Over the next 21 years, Spies gave the Library his compositions and papers, in addition to scores by Igor Stravinsky, with whom he collaborated until the Russian composer’s death in 1971. The rest of the material arrived in June 2013 as a gift from Mr. Spies. The list of Claudio Spies’ compositions contained in this collection should be considered the most complete works catalog available for the composer. Some of these titles have previously appeared in catalogs of Spies’ compositions, while other titles are not known to have been published.

No further accruals are expected.
