Berger, Arthur. (1912–2003). "Ideas of order"—Fragment of corrected proof page with autograph inscription.

Signed fragment of a printed proof page from the score of Ideas of Order (bottom 7 of 24 staves) with inscription, "from pages 39–40 of the score of 'Ideas of Order' before final revisions were entered for publication - Arthur Berger, 1980," and including autograph corrections and erasures in pencil and red crayon.  Unevenly cut/torn,  ca. 5 x 12 inches (13 x 30 cm).  Frayed at edges; in good condition overall.


The orchestral work Ideas of Order (1952) was published by Peters, New York, in 1956.  "Berger exerted considerable influence on contemporary music and on university compositional training in the United States during the second half of the 20th century as composer, teacher, critic, and author.  His relatively small body of compositions combines a tireless and painstaking concern for artistic and musical operation and expression with what Virgil Thomson described as an 'only slightly disguised sidewalks-of-New-York charm.'"  Rodney Lister in Grove Music Online
