The Performing Arts Reading Room provides access to the Music Division's primary and secondary resources for the composer Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951).

These materials include music manuscripts, facsimiles, correspondence, first and early editions of music scores, critical editions, scholarly literature on Schoenberg, special collections, iconography, and access to subscription databases.

Navigate the different kinds of materials available by using the sections of this research guide. Find these materials by searching the Library of Congress Online Catalog, browsing the Library's Digital Collections, searching within Special Collections, using the Finding Aids Tool, searching within the many Databases and Electronic Resources to which the Library subscribes, or browsing the Music Division's on-site card catalog. Several of the Library's databases are available off-site, but many may only be accessed on-site at the Library or via your local public or academic library.
