{"value"=>"<p>This series contains of sketches, scores and parts for Shulman’s compositions (II.A) and arrangements (II.B), as well as published cello music by other composers, with Shulman’s notes (II.C). Compositions comprise the bulk of Shulman’s output. They include everything from solo piano and chamber works to string quartets, string orchestra and full orchestral pieces, and a variety of solo literature with piano or orchestral accompaniment. There are also educational piano and string pieces written specifically for beginning students. Shulman’s parallell career as an arranger was significant, producing an innovative body of arrangements for string quartet, bass, guitar and harp, as well as for more traditional jazz groups with added string sections. Some of these are adapted from classical works, but many more are arrangements of popular songs of the pre-World War II era. Some were likely recorded by either the New Friends of Rhythm or by Maxine Sullivan.</p> <p>Shulman’s collection of cello music by other composers includes works by Bach, Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann, among others.</p>"}
