Biographical/Historical Note
Born in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1926, David Tudor studied composition and analysis with Stefan
Wolpe, organ and theory with H. William Hawke, and piano with Irma Wolpe Rademacher. He
began his professional work at 17 as an organist, and in 1950 established himself as a
formidable talent in avant-garde music when he gave the American premiere of the Second
Piano Sonata by Pierre Boulez. Until the late 1960s, Tudor gave first or early performances
of works by Earle Brown, Sylvano Bussotti, Morton Feldman, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Christian
Wolff, Stefan Wolpe, and La Monte Young. His virtuosity and imagination inspired many of
these composers to write pieces for him, involving complex graphic notations and performance
problems which they felt only Tudor could solve.
During the 1950s, David Tudor held positions as Instructor and Pianist-in-Residence at
Black Mountain College, North Carolina, and at the Internationale Ferienkurse fur Neue
Musik, Darmstadt. He expanded his performance activity to include the Merce Cunningham Dance
Company and John Cage's "Project of Music for Magnetic Tape."
In the late '60s, Tudor gradually ended his active career as a pianist. He had begun to
experiment with the electronic modification of sound sources in the late 1950s, departing
from the then common practice of fixing music on magnetic tape beforehand. By the end of the
'60s, Tudor became fully involved in "live electronic music," producing his own compositions
which introduced a new form of "sound art." Many of Tudor's electronic works were associated
with collaborative visual forces: light systems, dance, television, theater, film or
four-color laser projections. For example, Bandoneon!, composed in 1966 for the E.A.T.
performance series 9 Evenings: Theatre & Engineering, called for lighting and audio
circuitry, moving loudspeaker sculptures, and projected video images, all actuated by the
bandoneon. As a core artist invited to collaborate on the design of the Pepsi-Cola Pavilion
for Expo' 70 in Osaka, Tudor worked with two sculptors and an environmental artist, and
conceived and performed new electronic pieces for the pavilion space. Tudor's sound
installation Rainforest IV (1973) involved collaboration with the video artist Bill Viola,
who credits Tudor with helping him develop his approach to sound in video.
Tudor had been affiliated with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company since its inception in
the summer of 1953. When John Cage died in August 1992, Tudor succeeded him as Music
Director. The company commissioned many works from Tudor, including Rainforest I (1968),
Toneburst (1975), Forest Speech (1976), Weatherings (1978), Phonemes (1981), Sextet for
Seven (1982), Fragments (1984), Webwork (1987), and Virtual Focus (1990). Tudor's electronic
piece Soundings: Ocean Diary (1994) comprised the electronic portion of Cage's last
composition, Ocean, a work for dancers and large orchestral forces positioned around the
audience.

Acquisition Information
Acquired 1994 (Accn. no. 940073), 1998 (Accn. no. 980039, 980045), and 2001 (2001.A.132,
2001.A.182, 2001.A.183, 2001.A.184).
Processing History
The David Tudor papers were received in two large separate acquisitions between 1994 and
1998. Additions to the collection were received in 2001 from John Holzaepfel, Joy Nemiroff,
Julie Martin and Billy Klüver, and Earle Brown. The first shipment arrived in 1994. It
consisted of 9 linear feet of papers, mostly dating from the 1950s and 1960s and related to
Tudor's piano performances. Gale Cohen and John Holzaepfel inventoried and organized this
group of material prior to its acquisition. Philip Curtis processed and cataloged the
collection in 1995.
The second shipment, which arrived in 1998, comprised 180 linear feet, covering nearly all
aspects of Tudor's life and work. The supplement required extensive organization. Lynda
Bunting began this work in June 1998. Farris Wahbeh organized series into chronological
order as Bunting identified them. Kelly Nipper conducted final processing on many of the
series. Nancy Perloff processed and cataloged small parts of the collection and wrote the
Biographical Note. Joy Refuerzo numbered the folders.
Cataloging and processing of Series I-IX was completed in October 1999. Additions to the
collection received in 2001 were processed and integrated in 2001 and 2002 by J. Gibbs: 7
audio tapes of Tudor performing in Darmstadt, donated by John Holzaepfel; personal papers
and photographs of Tudor donated by Joy Nemiroff; a drawing for Island Eye Island Ear,
donated by Julie Martin and Billy Klüver; and photographs of Tudor donated by Earle
Brown.
From the summer of 1999 to early 2002, John D.S. Adams and Tom Erbe reformatted the audio
tapes, except for a few that were damaged and a few blank and duplicate tapes. In 2011 Mary
K Woods migrated the digital masters of the audio recordings and made them available online.

Separated Material
620 published scores, books and periodicals were transferred to the Getty Research Library
in 7 separate actions. These items may be accessed by searching the Library's catalog.
Search by Provenance: "David Tudor" to see a list of these materials.
3 linear feet (6 boxes) of maps, travel brochures, junk mail, catalogs and advertisements,
all non-music related, were deaccessioned March 1999. 3 linear feet (5 boxes) of travel
brochures, junk mail, catalogs, out of scope clippings and newspapers, and objects were
deaccessioned August 1999. 4.5 linear feet (9 boxes, 1 oversize folder) of recipe clippings,
ephemera related to food, health and gardening, and unused postcards were deaccessioned
September 1999.
Scope and Content of Collection
The collection comprehensively depicts David Tudor's participation in post-World War II
experimental and avant-garde music. Scores by other composers, notably John Cage, Earle
Brown, Morton Feldman, Christian Wolff, Sylvano Bussotti and Karlheinz Stockhausen, Tudor's
realizations of their scores, and his electronic compositional materials, form the most
significant part of the collection. Extensive project files concern the scheduling and
development of his piano concerts and electronic compositions. Electronic research files
with equipment catalogs and notes show how Tudor taught himself complicated mathmatics,
equipment systems, and circuitry in order to gain the requisite technical knowledge to
compose his electronic work. Articles and reviews, a nearly complete set of Tudor's
programs, a large collection of audio tapes, videotapes, and photographs augment the
documentation of his performing and composing activities.
Letters from colleagues and friends, dating from 1938-1996, exhibit the respect and
devotion Tudor commanded as a serious interpreter and creator of avant-garde music. The
collection also contains personal effects, including recipes, notes, and various materials
concerning his spiritual beliefs, and his financial records.

Physical Description:
43
boxes
Scope and Content Note
This subseries consists of printed and manuscript scores, sketches, drafts and
performance instructions by prominent avant-garde composers in the United States and
Europe, organized alphabetically by composer. Tudor's annotations on the scores, along
with his worksheets and realizations, show something of the history of the
compositions and of Tudor's working relationship with the composers. The range of
music, from composers who Tudor knew well and whose music he frequently played to
composers who sent unsolicited music he never performed, gives an overview of the
major stylistic trends in new music piano repertoire of the 1950s and 1960s. Items of
particular interest include Cage's
Concert for piano and orchestra,
Concerto for prepared piano and chamber orchestra,
4'33",
Music of changes,
Theatre piece,
Variations II, and
Winter music; Brown's
Folio:
December 1952

Bussotti's

Series IV.
Correspondence,
1938-1996
Physical Description:
11
boxes
Scope and Content Note
This series consists of letters from composers, performers, concert organizers,
friends, family and admirers spanning nearly Tudor's entire life. The letters are
organized alphabetically. Many of the composers enclose scores (generally not filed in
this series), and in some cases include extensive performance instructions. Some of the
letters concern concert plans and schedules. Friends send news of themselves, concerts
they have seen, and request letters from Tudor, who was notorious for not answering his
mail. Tudor's close friends John Cage and Jacqueline Monnier, and his onetime lover M.C.
Richards, write extensively regarding their personal lives and collaborations with
Tudor. (See also Mary Caroline Richards papers, held by the Getty Research Institute).
Young performers and composers ask for advice on their careers. Other correspondents
include George Brecht, Sylvano Bussotti, Pierre Boulez, Earle Brown, Cornelius Cardew,
Lowell Cross, Morton Feldman, Albert M. Fine, William H. Hawke, Toshi Ichiyanagi,
Maurizio Kagel, Bo Nilsson, Pauline Oliveros, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Terry Riley, Jean
Rigg, Karlheinz Stockhausen (see also copies of Tudor letters to Stockhausen in the
repository, Accession no. 2001.M.26), Bill Viola, Christian Wolff, Stefan and Irma
Wolpe, and La Monte Young.
