Description

 .pdf scan of an 8-page, typed, annotated document, created by pianist and pedagogue Gwendolyn Kodofsky (née Williams) for her students at the University of Southern California.

This extensive literature list was offered as recommended reading for her accompaniment students and singers and includes hundreds of sources, alphabetized and categorized under the following rubric:

I. DICTIONARIES, BIBLIOGRAPHIES, INDICES

II. HISTORIES

III. SINGING & ACCOMPANYING

IV. SONG TEXTS

V. PERF0RMANCE PRACTICE

VI. BIOGRAPHIES

VII. THEMAT1C CATALOGUES

VIII. ON ENGLISH MUSIC & POETRY

IX. SELECTED EXAMPLES of SONG In HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS of MUSIC

This document offers a valuable picture of Koldofsky as a scholar, and provided the basis of bibliographies her many students later developed.

The scan is from the private collection of Koldofsky student Mona Lands, and was provided to Elvia Puccinelli and Chanda VanderHart for publication here in connection with the digital-print hybrid publication Accompaniment in America: Contextualizing Collaborative Piano (Routledge, 2025).
