Scope and Content Note

Lewin's teaching materials from his courses at State University of New York at Stony Brook, Yale University, Harvard University, and other educational venues, such as conferences and seminars. Since Lewin reused his materials over the years and it wasn't always clear to which university a given set of items belonged, most of the materials are arranged under the four main topics that Lewin taught: counterpoint, history of tonal theory, application of math to music, and text and musical structure. The materials include lecture notes, handouts, assignments, scores, syllabi, bibliographies, exams, student work and presentations, copies of articles and chapters from books, including Lewin's own work, correspondence, administrative materials, and notes and writings in which Lewin is working out an issue, problem or example for class.
