Dr. James L. and Dr. Margaret Whitby donation

Avid local chamber musicians, the Drs. Whitby have amassed a significant collection of antiquarian chamber music, which they have generously donated to the Music Library, Western Libraries. The Collection includes early editions of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven alongside works of their contemporaries, namely: Boccherini, Cambini, Gyrowetz, Peter Hänsel, Krommer, Onslow, Pleyel, Romberg, and Spohr.

Explore a few digitized scores from the Whitby Collection here.

Even more are available in Western's Collections at the Internet Archive, and can be found here.
