This indispensable handbook explains how scholars and students
should work with and think about the composer's working
manuscripts. Over the past quarter century, the scholarly study of
autograph sources has exploded and nowhere is this more true than
in the field of twentieth-century music. And yet, few if any
courses or seminars broach the subject of sketch studies and the
skills required to examine the manuscripts. This book surveys the
knowledge necessary to work efficiently in archives and libraries
housing this material and with the skills and techniques
specifically related to sketch studies: transcription,
reconstructing sketchbooks, deciphering handwriting, dating
documents. It deals with the music of important twentieth-century
composers and presents visual examples of manuscripts from the
collections of world renowned institutions such as the Paul Sacher
Foundation. The book aims to make the work of both researchers and
students more efficient and rewarding.
