[AMS-announce] ANNOUNCEMENT: Library of Congress, sketches of Elliott Carter now available

[Announcements for the AMS]

The Library of Congress has completed digitization of another batch of the compositional sketches of Elliott Carter. These are now available on our web site.  This current release consists of the following material:

Pocahontas (18*)
Symphony No.1 (224)
Piano Sonata (20*)
Minotaur (108)
Emblems (192)
Woodwind Quintet (141)
Eight Etudes and a Fantasy (140)
Sonata for Flute, Oboe, Cello & Harpsichord (51)
Variations for Orchestra (771)
Double Concerto (161*)

For technical reasons, these are not all complete yet.  Numbers in parens indicate page (image) counts; an asterisk indicates digitization is incomplete (more to come in future releases).

Along with the previously released sketches for the Cello Sonata (338 images) and the First String Quartet (538 images), these sketches are now available at:

There will be either one or two more releases in the near future to complete this project.

Comments are welcome.  Please email these directly to me at ssod at loc.gov
