Content Summary:

Papers covering all aspects of Emily Dyason's career as a pianist, including teaching, lecturing, performing, and reviewing, make up the bulk of the series. A cutting album contains items from Melbourne and Bendigo newspapers and magazines which report on her concert recitals, her 1908 tour of Australia and New Zealand with Keith Kubelik, her public lectures on piano teaching, her impressions of music and society in Australia (1908-1912), London (1925), and China (1958), and her Conservatorium music reports for 1903 to 1906. A further group of cuttings consists of Lady Scott's music column, 'Melbourne Music' which was published by The Tried, 1919-1920. Manuscript items include handwritten drafts of articles and lectures on music, composers, and piano-playing, for such journals as Stead's Annual, the Melba Conservatorium Magazine and the Australian Quarterly, and texts of the talks based on her trips to Java in 1929, China in 1933 and the United States and South America in 1940-41.
