{"value"=>"<p>This subseries chronicles five decades of Franciska's professional career via correspondence, notes, certificates, programs, clippings, and writings. Most represented is her work in New York when she was struggling to support her sister and herself financially from the 1920s through the 1940s. During that time, in addition to conducting private piano lessons, Franciska tried to promote Lester Avery, a child soprano and piano player, and she conducted musical therapy with Donny Crane, the young son of actress Alice Brady. Also in this subseries are Franciska's drafts and research for her book <span class=\"title\">Great Musicians as Children</span>, as well as her copy of the book. There is correspondence with prominent figures featured in the book, including George Gershwin, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Frau Johann Strauss, and Leo Slezak. Béla Schwimmer assisted with this book project, as evidenced here by notes, correspondence and his German translation of the book.</p>"}
