Correspondence, 1945-1948
|
|
This series consists of correspondence between Dorothy Packer and well-known
composers. Packer sent a questionnaire about compositional practices to composers
while conducting research for her dissertation The Use of Polyphonic
Forms and Devices by Contemporary American Composers (Boston University,
1948). Included here are responses to that survey from Robert Russell Bennett,
Frederick Jacobi, Douglas Moore, Deems Taylor, and Randall Thompson. Other
notable correspondents include George Antheil, Samuel Barber, Mario
Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Morton Gould, Robert McBride, Darius Milhaud, Wallingford
Riegger, William Schuman, William Grant Still, and Virgil Thomson. |
