{"value"=>"<p>Netty Rothenberg was born in New York City on Oct. 26, 1913. She received her early musical training from the Third Street Music School, where she taught from 1928 to 1933. She taught piano, theory and composition privately from 1928 to 1956. She was producer and performer of a weekly radio program of the piano and chamber music from 1931 to 1932. She began studies at New York University's School of Fine Arts in 1931. A one-year scholarship in 1933 enabled her to study the piano under Alexander Siloti at the Juilliard School of Music. In 1934 she resumed her studies at New York University (continuing until 1937) where her composition teachers included Marion Bauer and Percy Grainger. From 1938 to 1941 she was a private student of Stefan Wolpe. In succeeding years their relationship grew especially close. She was producer and coordinator of composer's concerts at Carnegie Recital Hall from 1960 to 1961. She was one of ten contemporary women composers represented in an exhibition celebrating the American Composers Alliance, held in the Music Division of the New York Public Library. In 1971 she was producer and scriptwriter for a contemporary music program at the University of Michigan, and recipient of a recording-publication award from the Ford Foundation.</p>"}

Because of their different provenance they have been appended as a separate series. Commencing in 1940, these letters capture the relationship of Simons and Wolpe as having progressed beyond that of mere student-teacher into one of deep affection.
