Description

Scope and Content

The collection contains correspondence, manuscripts, clippings, books and periodicals. There are two letters from Aleksandr Glazunov and one each from Aleksandr Grechaninov and Nikolaĭ Metner. The manuscripts deal with both cultural affairs and the Russian Revolution. Among the cultural topics are essays on music, Isadora Duncan, Maksim Gorḱiĭ and literary affairs. There are articles about general aspects of the Revolution and about such individuals as Lenin, Stalin, Chicherin, Dzerzhinskiĭ and Kamenev. Many of the articles are memoiristic in nature, particularly those about life in Moscow and in the provinces during the Revolution, Dzerzhinskiĭ and Kamenev. There are clippings of articles written by Sabaneev and a number of books and periodicals either written by Sabaneev or containing articles by him.

• Series I: Correspondence

• Series II: Manuscripts

  (The Sabaneev manuscripts have been grouped into three separate series. The first contains individual essays with titles. The second includes manuscripts according to the year they were submitted to the Humanities Fund. The third is an alphabetical arrangement of manuscript titles. The manuscripts in the third group are all numbered, though it is not clear to what larger scheme the numbers refer.)

• Series III: Printed Material
