Recording of Christian Zanési's Arkheion, les voix de Pierre Schaeffer. The composer has these remarks on the creation of this piece: In 1996, on the initiative of the Experimental Music Group of Bourges (GMEB), around a hundred composers paid tribute to Pierre Schaeffer. It was on this occasion that I composed a short, outdated waltz, the theme of which is childhood (it is said of Pierre Schaeffer that, when he was a few years old, he would have written a 'treatise on the hoop'). Later, I continued: the railway, the sound object, the single man, relativity in all things to evoke this multiple man who played with all registers and all voices. So many faces which, superimposed, draw a single form. As for Arkheion, the words of Stockhausen (1995) I composed this work from archives (from the Greek, arkheion). Karlheinz Stockhausen was a kind of distant and inaccessible angel, the ideal situation. I had only used one spoken document then. For Pierre Schaeffer, who is closer to me (I took his classes at the conservatory and produced several radio programs with him) I took, here and there, fragments discovered at random in the considerable mass of archives concerning him.

[Binder's Collection: Columbus Public Library, Parts]

Bound compilation of parts to accompany the volume M218.C67. This collection's contents do not overlap entirely with those of main volume. The library catalog record follows the handwritten numbering in the main volume, which generally assigns numbers to titles held in common between the two volumes. Therefore, some works are described by their position relative to numbered items. The set of parts also has several short manuscript pieces added at the end; some parts are for both violin or flute, or for flute but playable on violin. The volume itself heavily emphasizes "potpourris" and other arrangements of larger works, such as those by Gaetano Donizetti and Vincenzo Bellini. Charles Auguste de Bériot is prominent in this volume as both a composer and arranger. About half of the works were published in Mayence (present-day Mainz) or Offenbach (surmised from other evidence in some cases), with Fils de B. Schott as the most prominent publisher.

[Binder's Collection: Columbus Public Library, Scores]

Bound compilation of sheet music for violin and piano, assembled by the Columbus Public Library (now the Columbus Metropolitan Library). This volume consists of scores and piano parts, although its contents do not overlap entirely with those of the accompanying set of violin parts. The library catalog record follows the handwritten numbering in the volume, which generally assigns numbers to titles held in common between the two volumes. Therefore, some works are described by their position relative to numbered items, such as a set of three between numbered selections 23 and 24. The volume itself heavily emphasizes "potpourris" and other arrangements of larger works, such as those by Gaetano Donizetti and Vincenzo Bellini. Charles Auguste de Bériot is prominent in this volume as both a composer and arranger. About half of the works were published in Mayence (present-day Mainz) or Offenbach (surmised from other evidence in some cases), with Fils de B. Schott as the most prominent publisher.

[Binder's Collection: Schieffelin, Book 1]

Bound compilation of sheet music with the surname Schieffelin attached. Nearly all works in this volume are derivative works by Henri Herz, with two by Jacques Herz. The titles are largely fantasies or variations on works by other composers (including four by Gaetano Donizetti), with a particular emphasis on operas. A majority of works were published in Mayence (present-day Mainz), and some in Anvers (better known as Antwerp), Paris, Bonn, and New York. B. Schott or Fils de B. Schott published or co-published most titles, and works in this volume range in date from 1825 through 1855. The stamp of music seller C. Breusing on works throughout the volume provides insights on how the works were acquired.
