The Max Gebhardt manuscript collection consists of handwritten clarinet manuscripts. These manuscripts were likely written between the years 1800 and 1850. The collection contains solo clarinet music, a piece for chamber ensemble, and an exercise book for clarinet. A few of the composers represented in this collection had a teacher-student relationship during their lifetimes. No information on Gebhardt or how Jerry Pierce obtained these manuscripts was available, although they were donated along with Pierce's papers to SCPA in 1995.
