{"value"=>"<p>Series III, dating from the 1960s to 2009, holds notes, scores, and recordings related to or derived from Amacher's music and sound compositions. The series exhibits Amacher's music composition process, and also holds some smaller scale works. It is likely Amacher used these works for her ongoing installations held in series I, and her performances held in series II. This series is arranged into two subseries: Compositions by Date, and Assorted Notes and Recordings.</p> <p>While the notes held here probably do correspond to specific recordings in the series, Amacher did not file them together, so they are filed here in that same manner. It is typically unclear when a notebook or files of notes references a specific recording, but when notes were housed with recordings, that arrangement has been maintained. Recordings with annotated media cases have also been noted in the container list, and scans of these cases may be requested from the Music Division.</p> <p>Subseries III.A. illustrates Amacher's titled, dated, and performed works, and is arranged chronologically. In general, these are known works, and are often cited in Amacher's resumes and biographies held in subseries VI.A. Subseries III.B. holds materials that cannot be attributed to a single composition, or where the project or final title is unknown. These materials are arranged alphabetically.</p> <p>Additional handwriten notation and scores are found in subseries IV.C for <span class=\"title\">The Levi-Montalcini Variations</span>, Amacher's unrealized collaboration with the Kronos Quartet.</p>"}
