Royal Academy Buys Menuhin Archive

The Royal Academy of Music has bought the archive of papers, photos and memorabilia of the late Yehudi Menuhin. “The archive contains important musical manuscripts by many of the composers who worked with Menuhin, including music from his collaborations with Ravi Shankar and Stephane Grappelli. In addition to detailed correspondence with Edward Elgar, Bela Bartok and Benjamin Britten, the archive includes letters from such non-musical figures as Einstein and Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.”
