Irwin Bazelon Collection

|| About the Collection ||

This collection is in two sections: music and non-music. The former includes original manuscripts in the composer's hand, photocopies of works no longer existing in the original manuscript, film, broadcast, and library music, and printed music published by reproducing the composer's manuscript. The latter includes programs, flyers, publishing contracts and the composer's writings. Included also are a number of commercial works which survive only as recordings.
