{"value"=>"<p>This series holds Donna Anderson's annotated study copies of Charles Griffes's score manuscripts in various stages of composition, as well as copyist scores and parts; multiple editions of published scores (usually annotated or corrected); Anderson's extensive notes; and, occasionally, letters or correspondence with scholars or publishers. There are a few instances of original score manuscripts (in the hand of either Griffes or a copyist), but most of the material is copies of manuscripts held by either the New York Public Library or the Library of Congress.</p> <p>Anderson assigned numbers to every individual Griffes composition, not to groups of works or their opus numbers. Some of the numbered compositions are arranged by the group title and opus number of which they are components. Anderson grouped the compositions by orchestration, although many works began life in one form and were later re-orchestrated (producing separate numbers in the catalog for the two editions of the work). She arranged additional works or sketchbooks into a file of Addenda, which are numbered separately.</p> <p>Nearly every Griffes composition is present in some form. Most of the research documented here went into the production of <span class=\"title\">The Works of Charles T. Griffes: A Descriptive Catalogue</span>, but in many cases the files hold additional research and information that post-date the publication of that book (such as the score for the piano work <span class=\"title\">A Winter Landscape</span>). The series also contains sketches and sketchbooks, only some of which are accounted for in the <span class=\"title\">Catalogue</span>; and scores owned by Griffes.</p>"}
