BOX 82-89 MAPCASE 5 | Papers of Sophie Satin, 1929-1974 | ||||||||||||
This is a discrete collection that was donated to the Library of Congress in 1976
by the estate of Sophie Satin (née Sofiia Aleksandrovna Satina; 1879-1975), SR's
first cousin and later his sister-in-law. Satin emigrated to the United States in
1921, and spent her professional life at Smith College (Northampton, Mass.), first
as a research associate in botanical genetics, then as a visiting professor, where
she remained until her retirement in 1955. The Satin papers consist primarily of research notes and published material relating to Rachmaninoff which was compiled by Satin over the course of her lifetime. Also included are various notes, drafts and other materials documenting the writing of Sergei Rachmaninoff: A Lifetime in Music (1956), a biography by Sergei Bertensson and Jay Leyda (with Satin's assistance); copies (in English and Russian) of Satin's own autobiography; and material related to Rachmaninoff collected by Satin after the deaths of both SR and NR. The substantial collection of preliminary research notes housed within this series corresponds closely to the lists found within the "Lists compiled by Sophie Satin" section of the Writings about SR subseries under the Writings series. |
