Description
Tovey Concert Programmes: 1 volume (1903-08)
Scrapbook from the papers of Donald Francis Tovey, containing ca. 45 pages of pasted-in programmes organised (mostly) chronologically. The majority of the programmes are from his own piano performances, mostly with chamber groups, but some are from performances of his compositions by others. All of the concerts take place in the U.K., at venues such as Northlands, Englefield Green, Surrey; Chelsea Town Hall; Church Hall, Woking; Drill Hall, Petersfield; The Dome, Brighton; Oxford University Musical Club; University Music Class Room, Edinburgh; Queen's Hall, London, and others. Some of the programmes have MS annotations, and at the front of the volume is an MS index by title of work.
