BOX 1-30 Music, 1920-2016
This series contains Suesse's holograph scores, lead sheets, juvenilia, and sketch materials for solo piano, piano duet, musical comedy, popular songs, orchestral works, arrangements, and orchestrations. There are also orchestration notes and harmony and counterpoint exercises. A majority of the music materials were scanned by the donor, Peter Mintun. These scans are contained in the Digital Files series.
Organized as two subseries.
Music by Suesse
This subseries includes holograph scores for solo piano and piano-vocal scores for musical comedy and popular songs, along with lead sheets and sketch material. Holograph full scores for orchestral works often include parts, sometimes with performance markings. Though not comprehensive, these works include early juvenilia and continue through Suesse's most prolific time period (1930s-1950s). They also include orchestrations she completed for her 1974 Carnegie Hall concert and 1975 concert at the Newport Music Festival. Annotations and manuscript scores in other hands are identified when known.
Arranged alphabetically by title.
