Overture and lyrics, circa 1905
Scope and Contents
The bulk of this series consists of works by Richter, including the comic opera "The Grand Nazar," which he co-wrote with George L. Hutchin; Opus 6, "First Symphonie in C Minor"; and "Tone Pictures." With the exception of the song "Memory" and the piece "At the Shrine of the Rose," which are printed sheet music, these works are handwritten in ink or pencil by someone who took dictation from Richter. This series also includes transcriptions by Richter of other composers' music, including a Braille transcription of Camille St. Saën's "The Swan"; and published sheet music and lyrics by others that Richter owned.
