Series I: Musical works

The Igor Stravinsky Archive contains annotated proofs, autograph and copyist manuscripts, and associated material of the works of the revolutionary Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky. The majority of the proofs contain significant corrections, alterations, and annotations in Stravinsky’s hand, some of which include quite extensive autograph musical manuscript additions in the hand of the composer in addition to autograph textual notes. A number of the proofs are present in successive iterations, all evidencing important evolutionary stages in Stravinsky’s compositional process. Dates for the collection range from 1908 to 1974, with bulk dates from 1908 to 1938.
