New York’s Juilliard School has been given a treasure trove of original scores, notes, and manuscripts by some of the greatest composers who ever lived. “Many of the manuscripts have been unavailable for generations and could be a significant source of new insight for scholars and performers.” The 139-piece collection, which is considered priceless and includes an original score for Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, “is so large that Juilliard is building a special room for the manuscripts” as part of a larger renovation to be completed in 2009.
