The Loeb Music Library is pleased to announce that The Werner Josten collection, 1917-1971<\/a> is now described online and available to use.<\/p>\n

Born in Elberfeld, Germany in 1885, Werner Josten was educated in Munich, then in Switzerland and France. A 1917 concert programme shows that he returned home at least periodically as a young man, and this print of Elberfeld as seen from afar was among his belongings, both suggesting that he harbored good feelings toward his hometown after leaving it for larger cities and, eventually, America.<\/p>\n

He toured the United States in 1920 and decided, while here, to emigrate. He became a professor at Smith College (whose Josten Performing Arts Library is named for him), conducting productions of the American premi\u00e8res of several Monteverdi operas, including, in 1969, L\u2019Orfeo<\/em>. Josten\u2019s work was championed by Leopold Stokowski and by Serge Koussevitzky.<\/p>\n

The collection consists chiefly of songs in both manuscript and print versions but there are also many manuscript transcriptions of works by other composers.<\/p>\n
