scopecontent
{"value"=>"<p>The Balbo papers are primarily made up of scores. It includes many original manuscripts, handwritten by Balbo himself, as well as some of his published works. There is a series of works by other composers that Balbo either hand copied exactly or that he revised and arranged. There are a few professional papers, including some of Balbo’s essays, his photograph, and a resumé produced sometime after his move to Brooklyn. There is virtually nothing of a personal nature in this collection.</p>"}
