The Felix Salzer Papers represents the work of Felix Salzer (1904-1986), an Austrian-born music scholar who came to the United States in 1939 and has had a lasting impact on music theory. Salzer's work in the United States was highly influential, primarily in the dissemination of Schenkerian theory and analysis. The present collection encompasses both Salzer's scholarly materials and a portion of the papers of his Viennese mentor, Heinrich Schenker (1868-1935). Broadly speaking, the collection contains music analyses, correspondence, academic notes, significant texts (both published and unpublished), and other items.
