Introduction

The Bach Institute houses the well-known Riemenschneider Bach Library, a unique collection of Bach-oriented books, manuscripts, archival materials, and scores, including rare items such as the Emmy Martin Collection of first-edition scores; the Hans T. David Collection of books, manuscripts, archival items, and scores); the opera-oriented Tom Villella collection of phonodiscs, books, archival materials, and memorabilia. The library also houses general collections of books and scores, and collected editions of many composers. All of these are supplemented by the collections of Jones Music Library and the Jack Lee Collection of materials on opera and musical theater.
