Arne Oldberg CollectionGuides to Special Collections in the Music DivisionLibrary of Congress, Washington DC, 1996 Introduction | Scope and Content | Biographical Sketch | Container List IntroductionArne Oldberg (1874-1962), noted Chicago composer and instructor, was Professor of Composition and Head of the Piano Department at Northwestern University from 1899 to 1941, where he exerted considerable influence upon the musical life of the Midwest. Oldberg's works were frequently performed by leading orchestras such as the Chicago Symphony and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Among his most notable pupils was the composer, Howard Hanson.In 1970, Oldberg's daughter Elsa Zettelman and her husband Dr. Henry J. Zettleman donated a large collection of Oldberg's music, correspondence, programs, biographical materials and other related materials to the Library of Congress. Oldberg himself donated two of his works to the Library: the holograph score of _A Legend_ in 1948 and _Sonata for piano_, Op. 28 in Bb minor in 194?. Additional Oldberg materials are found at the Sibley Library of the Eastman School of Music and the Fleischer Collection at the Philadelphia Free Library. The music manuscripts by Oldberg in this collection may be photocopied. Patrons are urged to use special caution in handling items found at Box 19, Folder 2 and Box 24, Folder 1. Linear feet of shelf space occupied: 24 Scope and ContentOldberg's musical oeuvre, as represented in the collection, includes seven symphonies, three piano concertos, several large orchestral works, chamber works, solo piano pieces as well as vocal works. These works were composed during his student days to just before his death and represent, by far, the largest series in the collection. Most of the works contain opus numbers but the numbering system is not always consistent; several pieces share opus numbers, e.g.: op. 24, [The Quintet, 2 violins, viola, cello, piano, op. 24, c# minor] and [Concertino for piano and chamber orchestra, op. 24]; the Sinfonia op. 48 and the Sonata for violin/cello and piano op. 48 and op. 48a; as well as the Ballade op. 53 and the Trois Chansons Françaises, op. 53.Some of Oldberg's works exist in several versions, e.g. Symphony number one, the violin sonata, the cello sonata, and the Ballade, op. 53. Other pieces lack an opus number entirely, a situation which Oldberg's son, Karl, later attempted to correct by creating "KO" numbers for the unnumbered pieces. Orchestral parts, whether in Oldberg's hand, in that of a copyist, or photocopies, are included for most works. Included among the music are two folders of music composed by Arne Oldberg's father, Oscar. Among the notebooks in the collection are numerous harmony and counterpoint studies, as well as copies of works by Rheinberger, all dating from Oldberg's student days. Sketchbooks also exist from Oldberg's days as a professor of composition at Northwestern. The programs document performances of Oldberg's pieces by a number of American orchestras from 1909 -1958, most notably the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, though there are some programs from the Minneapolis Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. Oldberg's correspondence, once classed as ML 94.055, is now included with the collection. This correspondence details his years in Europe as a student as well as his later activities as composer and instructor. Notable correspondents include Charles Wakefield Cadman, Arthur Farwell, Arthur Foote, Frederick Grant Gleason, Theodor Leschetizky, Emil Liebling, Wilhelm Middelschulte, Fritz Reiner, George Szell, Leopold Stokowski, and Fanny Bloomfield-Zeisler. A limited but interesting number of photographs, clippings, writings, programs, and biographical materials can also be found with the correspondence.
