Music: New Digital Collection: The Papers of Pierre Boulez, 1971-1977

From The Violin Channel:

To mark 100 years since the birth of the conductor and composer Pierre Boulez, the New York Philharmonic has released more than 13,000 archival documents that derive from Boulez’s tenure as the orchestra’s Music Director between 1971 and 1977.

Many of the documents give an insight into Boulez’s priorities when planning programming for the orchestra. The materials comprise letters, planning papers, and audience response surveys, among other documents.

The New York Philharmonic’s Shelby White & Leon Levy Digital Archives were launched in February 2011, with the goal of making every document in the orchestra’s archives from 1842 to 1978 available digitally to the public. At present, the archive contains more than four million pages, including printed programs, marked conducting scores, business documents, and photographs. More documents are being added continually.
