Sketches and orphan score pages are at the end of the series. The largest component of the scores is Langstroth’s sketches, which come in bound, dated notebooks and in loose, undated sheets. Orchestral and chamber music represent the largest portions of the finished compositions. Most of the finished scores are reproductions of originals, though there are many ink or pencil originals as well. The works often come in multiple versions, some labeled “earlier” or “wrong” version, or in variant orchestrations. All orchestrations are arranged alphabetically, with the exception of the Christmas Music, which is arranged chronologically.
