- Undated Compositions
- Scope & Content:
-
(1). ff. 1-4. Three pieces (‘Allegretto’, ‘Andante’, ‘Presto’); n.d. Autograph score in ink with pencil annotations. The front and back covers for these pieces have notes in pencil which appear to relate to ideas for the vocal setting of an untitled text.
(2). ff. 5-11. Three pieces (‘Con moto’, ‘Moderato—Tempo di Menuetto’, ‘Allegro Scherzando’) for piano and solo treble clef instrument (non-transposing, solo line pitch range = B3-F♯6 in the Scientific Pitch Notation system/b-F♯′′′ in the Helmholtz Pitch Notation system); n.d. Autograph score in ink with pencil annotations.
(3). ff. 12-20. Untitled suite for piano; n.d. Two autograph scores in ink - one appears to be an earlier draft and has pencil annotations as well as the addresses of some London-based supply companies on the front (drawing/office equipment and photographic services).
(4). ff. 21-32. Three pieces (numbered I, II, V); n.d. Dyeline copies. Two copies of number I, labelled ‘Schenatuzatuib’, with pencil annotations on the second copy.
(5). ff. 33-34. Two short pieces, untitled (‘♪=60’, ‘Allegro Risoluto’); n.d. Draft scores in pencil.
(6). f. 35. 'Two Preludes for Piano'; 1953. Title page only.
(7). ff. 36-74. Untitled film score, for flute, clarinet, trumpet, horn, viola, cello and harp (duration - circa 18'20''); n.d. Autograph score in ink with pencil annotations. The opening of the work is labelled with 'TITLES' in Bradshaw's hand, with timings in minutes and seconds recorded in pencil above the score, and an annotation in pencil, in another hand, near the end of the score ("Use take 25 from here.").
Please note - rusty staples have been removed from parts of this score, for preservation reasons. The following sections were stapled together originally, obscuring some passages from earlier drafting:
f. 39 was originally stapled to f. 40, obscuring the passage on the latter.
f. 58 was originally stapled to f. 40.
ff. 63 and 64 were stapled to the bottom of f. 62.
