- User Conditions:
- Arrangement:
-
Except where otherwise specified, correspondence within each volume has been arranged in alphabetical order by surname, within which items have been arranged in chronological order (where this has been possible to ascertain with reasonable certitude). Correspondence with unidentified persons has been placed at the beginning of sequences.
Three of the categories (contracts; conductors and orchestras; publishers) have been instigated by Musgrave, and are therefore retained and expanded. The category for 'academia' (broadly conceived) is a British Library arrangement. The category for 'press and broadcasting' is a British Library arrangement, amalgamating various Musgrave arrangements of correspondence with broadcasters.
In some cases, an item of correspondence has been placed in a counterintuitive category in order to remain alongside another item with which it was associated, especially where it seems to have formed a coherent thread from Musgrave's perspective.
Some correspondence relating to individual works is to be found in the volumes containing music manuscripts for the corresponding work. This is particularly the case where the correspondence is contemporaneous with such manuscripts, or had been found alongside them at the time of accession.
