{"value"=>"<p>This series holds the bulk of the collection. Nearly all the scores are manuscripts (or copies of manuscripts). Many have sketches and draft versions in addition to final scores and parts produced by copyists or by Fitelberg himself.</p> <p>The scores range from works composed in Fitelberg's late teens to his last completed composition, Concertino Da Camera (1951). Among them are solo pieces for piano, violin, cello, organ and harp; six string quartets, as well as other chamber music for wind quintets and unique combinations; orchestral concerti for piano, violin and string quartet, and a Concertino for Trombone, Piano and String Orchestra (1947); songs for voice and piano; the choral piece Pan Tralalinski (1942); several pieces for full orchestra, including Eine Kammer Sinfonie, Op. 11 (1922), Suite for Orchestra (1924), Etude for Orchestra (1932), Les Adventures de Mickey (1934), and The Golden Harp: Variations on a Polish Folk Song for String Orchestra (1943); and an opera for children entitled Henny Penny (1949). Scores for three pieces, Die Indische Harfe, Kleine Musik für Rundfunk and Symphony for Winds were microfilmed and cataloged under *ZZ-32378.</p> <p>The scores also hold Fitelberg's scores for the films Poland Fights On and Polish Pictures; an arrangement of J.S. Bach's Passacaglia (BWV 582); and Fitelberg's performance notes for The Tale of Tsar Saltan by Rimsky-Korsakov. Three of Fitelberg's works, Lost Phantasies, Silverblue and A Timely Tale, were composed under the pseudonym of Steve Terry. In addition, the scores contain several finished but untitled works, unfinished pieces, and untitled/unfinished sketches.</p> <p>Fitelberg's scores also contain the manuscripts for works by several other composers, including his father, Grzegorz, Alexander Spitzmüller, Eduard Steuermann, and Karol Szymanowski.</p>"}
