Sheet music, c.1920-1973

Component identifier:

Series 2

Content Summary:

Comprises manuscripts of music written by Curt Preraurer, and published music owned by the Prerauers. Some are annotated and have been used in performance. Also includes some scores sent to the Prerauers, from Australian composers, including Peter Sculthorpe and Richard Meale.

This material was in little order upon receipt, and authorship of some pieces is unclear.

Immediate source of acquisition:

Marea Prerauer's nephew Alyn Tilleard donated the papers to the National Library of Australia in two instalments in 2006 and 2007. The National Library of Australia's Curator of Music Robyn Holmes and music historian Graeme Skinner packed the papers and undertook some arrangement and listing of the collection.

Names:

Tilleard, Alyn
