Introduction
Scope and Content
The collection consists of correspondence, diaries, and writing and music material created and collected during Sitsky's long
and productive career as a composer, musicologist, pianist, teacher and writer. The correspondence includes letters and emails
to and from composers such as Felix Werder, Nigel Butterley, Richard Meale, Colin Brumby, Ann Carr-Boyd, Vincent Plush, James
Penberthy, Elena Kats-Chernin, George Dreyfus and Miriam Hyde. Sitsky also corresponded with musicians and his publishers,
and over a long period with poet and librettist Gwen Harwood. The music component of the collection includes composition diaries,
pencil and ink scores and published works by Sitsky as well as pieces by Roy Agnew and other Australian composers.
Arrangement
The collection has largely been left in the order imposed by Sitsky, with each successive consignment arranged into correspondence
and music, and added to the collection as a separate addition. The collection has been artificially separated in the Guide
into two streams, i.e. Folios (largely music manuscripts) and Boxes (largely correspondence). This occasionally results in
a confused numbering of items (such as item numbers in the 1983 addition alternating between Box 26 and Folios 12-28).
Access
Restricted access to correspondence (Boxes 1-21; Box 27/Folders 215-217; Boxes 28-59; Boxes 64-73; Boxes 87-96). The remainder
of the papers are available for reference (Folio boxes 1-47; Boxes 22-26; Box 27/Items 1-4; Boxes 60-63; Boxes 74-86; Boxes
97-101).
