Steven Suskin: In His Own Words

摘要

It is generally acknowledged that the vast and comprehensive collections of the Library of Congress are unparalleled. I have done extensive research at the Music Division on three separate books: ("Show Tunes," "Kern, Berlin, Rodgers, Hart, and Hammerstein: A Complete Song Catalogue," and, over the past seven years, "The Sound of Broadway Music: A Book of Orches-trators and Orchestrations."rnI can attest that the manuscripts and other original materials in the collection are of the utmost importance in my field and that the facilities at the Music Division are far more well-equipped and user-friendly than those at other research and university libraries where I have worked.
