Max Gebhardt collection of clarinet manuscripts
Collection
0369-SCPA-ICA
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.
Materials from this collection must be used in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library's Irving and Margery Morgan Lowens Special Collections Room, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday (and 10:00 am to 8:00 pm on Wednesdays during the spring and fall semesters).
There are no restricted files in this collection.
