Correspondence, 1894-1959 (bulk 1920s-1940s) (continued)
BOX 1-8 Correspondence from Schoenberg, 1900-1954
This subseries consists of holograph and typescript letters that Schoenberg wrote to other musicians, organizations, record labels, music publishers, and family members. Composers, music theorists, and conductors comprise the majority of correspondents. These include his teacher Alexander Zemlinsky, as well as his students Alban Berg, Anton Webern, Hans Eisler, Dika Newlin, and brother-in-law Rudolf Kolisch. Other recipients include composers who incorporated Schoenberg’s compositional techniques into their work, such as Henry Cowell, Luigi Dallapiccola, Ernst Krenek, René Leibowitz, and Edgar Varèse. Conductors who programmed his works are also well represented and include Wilhelm Furtwängler, Hans Kindler, Otto Klemperer, Serge Koussevitzky, Dmitri Mitropoulis, Fritz Reiner, Nicolas Slonimsky, and Leopold Stokowski. Béla Bartók, Pablo Casals, Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, Aaron Copland, and Alma Mahler are among the many additional musicians with whom he corresponded.
These materials also offer insight into Schoenberg's associations with music societies and foundations, such as the Akademie der Künste in Berlin, American Federation of Musicians, American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), Guggenheim Foundation, and the International Society for Contemporary Music. Finally, it includes correspondence with numerous major symphony orchestras in the United States and various universities where he lectured, such as the University of Southern California, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of California, Berkeley.
In addition to his professional associations, these materials document Schoenberg’s familial relationships, including those with his first wife Mathilde, second wife Gertrud, son Georg, mother Pauline, brother Heinrich, and his cousin Arthur Schoenberg. Physicist Albert Einstein and expressionist painter Wassily Kandinsky are among other notable correspondents.
