 This
list provides an overview of all those collections that are identified
by name.
The first item is Sacher's own collection, which formed the nucleus of
and starting point for the Foundation's holdings. It is followed by collections
devoted to the work of individual composers. Finally, after a number of
collections from leading performers and other figures, the list ends with
a group of collections preserved in photocopy.
Each entry leads to details on the holdings of the collection concerned.
These holdings differ according to the collection's history and provenance:
some consist mainly of autograph scores, while others also contain sketches
and drafts, handwritten texts, correspondence, parts of the figure's private
library, and other documentary material. As a rule, manuscripts from the
collections are available on microfilm on the Foundation's premises.
| The component parts
of a collection can be readily identified using the «classification
grid». This is not the place to publish detailed catalogues
of the collections' holdings, for which interested readers are hereby
referred to the Foundation's published inventories. Unpublished inventories
are available internally for research on the Foundation's premises. |
| F. Hoffmann-LaRoche
AG kindly lent its support to the photo-reproduction of the
collection's documents and the digitalization of the sound recordings. |
