Description
Research notes and final proofs for Thematic catalog of a manuscript collection of
eighteenth-century Italian instrumental music in the University of California Music
Library (Berkeley, 1963). Minnie Elmer was joint author with Vincent Duckles of the
catalog. The collection is frequently referred to as the Tartini collection, representing
as it does the new school of violin performance begun under the influence of Giuseppe
Tartini (1692-1770), composer and musical director at the Basilica of St. Anthony, Padua,
Italy.
