Abstract Or Scope: Series IV comprises a range of personal memorabilia including correspondence with friends and family, a copy of Gabriele's autobiography, material (documents and recordings) relating to performances by Gabriele's students and colleagues, photographs from Gabriele's travels, and materials relating to Gabriele's early, non-musical education (materials relating to Gabriele's vocal education, including recordings of singing lessons, are included in Series I).
