{"value"=>"<p>The Correspondence series is divided into two sub-series, Family and Chronological. The first of these largely consists of letters to Weisgall’s mother Aranka Weisgal from her relatives in Europe and letters to Weisgall from his parents and brother. These letters are grouped by recipient and then arranged alphabetically by sender and finally chronologically. The second sub-series comes from Weisgall’s chronological files and is included in this series since the bulk of the material in these files is correspondence, mostly professional, though a few personal letters are included. Weisgall’s criteria for what he put in his chronological files appears to have varied over the years with some time periods heavily represented and some (1972 through 1984 in particular) missing entirely. In addition to a sizeable amount of formal business documents, the chronological correspondence files contain letters exchanged between Weisgall and a broad spectrum of colleagues and students. Notably, the composers Dominick Argento, Henry Cowell, Richard Franko Goldman, Leo Kraft, George Rochberg, Bruce Saylor and Yehudi Wyner as well as the writers and critics Harold Blumenfeld, Joseph Machlis, John Olon Scrymgeour, Karl Shapiro, and Meyer Weisgal are represented in this series. A large amount of Weisgall’s correspondence can also be found in Series IV: Subject files.</p> <div class=\"arrangement\"> <p>Letters are arranged chronologically. In cases where Weisgall grouped his reply with the original letter, both are generally filed under the date of the response. Material in these files that is not correspondence has been left in place, with the exception of photographs that have been separated to the iconography series</p></div>"}
