- Title:
- Benjamin Britten: 'The Turn of the Screw', op. 54 (full score, Act I)
- Scope & Content:
-
Partly autograph full score for Act I.
According to an editorial note (1979) by Rosamund Strode, pasted to the inside front cover (f. i), Britten's score in pencil was, at the composer's request, inked-over by Imogen Holst so that it could be used as a conducting score for the first performance, resulting in a music manuscript 'not fully characteristic of either hand'. With some subsequent corrections and additions to the score in pencil (see 'Final corrections', also in pencil, f. 1v).
