描述: In December 1992 and January 1993 a team of five musicologists (Paul van Emmerik, Martin Erdmann, Laura Kuhn, James Pritchett, and András Wilheim) worked on the inventory of the music manuscripts legacy of composer John Cage, who died in August 1992. These manuscripts were kept in his apartment, and elsewhere in New York at his publisher Henmar Press and at the Margarete Roeder Gallery. The musicologists were faced with the job of making, within thirty days, a both pragmatically and philologically acceptable description of the collection. They did so by using forms designed in advance, on which for each relevant category (title, date, format, stage of the composition process, hand, condition, completeness, volume in number of folios, type of paper and writing tools) various possibilities could easily be entered or ticked. The 824 forms that came from the inventory process were next put into a chronologically ordered and slightly more simple list. Not only did the inventory project bring to light a few dozen unpublished works, but for the first time, it also brought together the sources of a large number of compositions arranged according to stages in the composition process. In 1995, thanks to an anonymous donation, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts acquired the music collection containing well over 26,000 folios. Since it has been publicly accessible, this collection has proved its usefulness, as various source studies of the music manuscripts have shown, for the study of Cage’s music.
