BOX 4 Realia
Two small enamel pins, held in Box 4, and SR's desk and chair, presently on display in the Library of Congress Performing Arts Reading Room (PARR).
PARR SR's desk and chair, 1910-1930
The desk exhibits ornate wood inlay and carved wood details. The chair exhibits carved wood details and tapestry upholstery. While there is a photograph of SR seated at this desk, taken by photographer Eric Schaal at Senar, there is no evidence to suggest that SR owned this desk for more than approximately a decade. The desk and chair may have been in SR's apartment in New York. After SR's death in 1943, the desk and chair were exhibited at the New York offices of Steinway and Co. In 1951, the desk and chair were donated by SR's daughters Irina Rachmaninoff Wolkonsky and Tatiana Rachmaninoff Conus to the Library of Congress, where they are exhibited in the Library's Performing Arts Reading Room. A brass plaque stands on the desk indicating that the desk and chair were presented to the Library of Congress by SR's daughters "as a memorial to their father."
BOX-FOLDER 4/1 Commemorative lapel pin bearing a likeness of SR
A treble clef appears along its left side; along the pin's bottom edge appears SR's surname, in Cyrillic characters, as well as the dates "1873-1943."
The pin is made of brass with black enamelware, and measures approximately 2.6 x 1.9 cm.
BOX-FOLDER 4/2 Commemorative lapel pin bearing a crest of Novgorod, Russia
The pin depicts two bears facing each other and standing over the number "859" (date the city was founded), which are placed at its center, as well as two fishes facing each other along the bottom edge of the pin; the city's name in Cyrillic characters appears along its top edge.
The pin is made of white metal with red and blue enamelware, and measures approximately 3.1 x 2.0 cm.
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.
