BOX 1 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.
