Summary	Ethel Bartlett and Rae Robertson comprised the piano duo Bartlett and Robertson, who were active in the first half of the twentieth century. They met as students at the Royal Academy of Music and married in 1921, forming their piano duo shortly thereafter. The collection includes primarily manuscript music, both newly composed works for piano duet and two-piano transcriptions and arrangements, as well as compositions written by Bartlett and Robertson. Of note are holograph scores of commissions for the duo by Benjamin Britten, Arnold Bax, and others. Also included are writings, programs, correspondence, and other papers pertaining to Bartlett and Robertson's careers and personal lives.
