Acquired by the Library of Congress from the estate of Mrs. Harold Spivacke in Sept. 1986.

Custodial History

After Harold Spivacke's death in 1977, Mrs. Spivacke donated materials to the Library of Congress. In 1978, she gave a violin bow made for Fritz Kreisler by W. E. Hill & Sons of London, which now is part of the musical instruments collections in the Music Division. She gave additional items in 1979, including twenty-six shellac disc recordings, mostly of ethnic music, which now reside in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division, and three pen and ink sketches of floral arrangements by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, signed and dated 1898, which are part of the Music Division's Harold Spivacke Collection.

In 1982, Mrs. Spivacke established the Rose Marie and Harold Spivacke Fund Collection in the Music Division at the Library of Congress. The purpose of this endowment is to assist the Library with the acquisition of books, manuscripts, and other materials for the collections of the Music Division.

Harold Spivacke's 1929 passport was a gift from Robinson's Thrift Shop and added to the Harold Spivacke Collection in 1987.

During Mr. Spivacke's tenure as chief of the Library of Congress Music Division, he donated an assortment of music manuscripts and printed scores, which were catalogued and made part of the general collections; sound recordings, which are housed in Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division; and other printed material.

Related Material

The materials in the Spivacke Fund (Rose Marie and Harold Spivacke) Collection have been purchased through an endowment fund established by Mrs. Harold Spivacke in 1982, based on the wishes of her husband. The purpose of the fund is to assist the Library of Congress in adding to and increasing the collections in the Music Division. The purchases primarily focus on holograph music manuscripts, printed music, and autograph correspondence which enhance the existing collections.

Biographical Note

Harold Spivacke was born July 18, 1904 in New York City. He studied at New York University, where he received his B.A. in 1923 and his M.A. in 1924. He attended the University of Berlin and received his Ph.D. in 1933, magna cum laude, with the dissertation Über die objektive und subjektive Tonintensität (Beyond Objective and Subjective Tonal Intensity). During this time, he also studied music privately with Henry Levey in New York and Eugen d'Albert and Hugo Leichtentritt in Berlin.

After finishing his dissertation in 1933, Spivacke returned to New York City, where he began work as a research assistant to Olin Downes, a well-known music critic for the New York Times. While assisting Mr. Downes, it was discovered, and confirmed by Fritz Kreisler, that some compositions performed by Kreisler and attributed to such composers as Vivaldi, Couperin, Pugnani and others, were actually composed by Kreisler himself.

In 1934, Spivacke moved to Washington to become the assistant chief of the Music Division at the Library of Congress. After three years, he was promoted to chief of the Music Division (1937), in which capacity he worked for thirty-five years until his retirement in 1972. During his tenure, the holdings of the Music Division almost tripled and the activities and services of the division were significantly expanded. The Library's Coolidge Auditorium chamber music programs grew under Spivacke's tenure, with the help of the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge and Gertrude Clarke Whittall foundations, established before 1937, and later by the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation and the McKim Fund, established in 1949 and 1970 respectively. It was also during the Spivacke era that the Library continued to commission and perform works by contemporary composers through these foundations and to acquire manuscripts from such noted composers and musicians as Richard Rodgers, George and Ira Gershwin, Jelly Roll Morton, Charlie Parker, Igor Stravinsky, and Arnold Schoenberg.

During his service to the Library of Congress, Spivacke held numerous advisory positions with various government agencies, including the Department of State, the Joint Army and Navy Committee on Recreation and Welfare, UNESCO, and the Pan American Union. He was also an active member of many professional organizations, including the National Music Council, the Music Library Association, the International Association of Music Libraries, and the American Musicological Society. He received honorary degrees from Baldwin-Wallace College in 1947, the University of Rochester in 1955, and the Cleveland Institute of Music in 1969. Throughout his career, he received numerous awards for his contributions to the fields of musicology and librarianship.

Harold Spivacke was married in 1927 to Carolyn Le Fèvre, a concert violinist with whom he had two sons, Joseph L. and Robert C. Spivacke. They were divorced in 1953. In 1955, he married Rose Marie Grentzer, a noted teacher and choral conductor. Harold and Rose Marie remained married until his death in Washington on May 19, 1977, at the age of 72. Rose Marie Spivacke died on November 11, 1985.

Scope and Content Note

The Harold Spivacke Collection spans the years 1923 to 1984, with the bulk of the materials dating from 1930 to 1978. The collection reflects the life of a musicologist, music librarian, and administrator of the Music Division of the Library of Congress. It includes his doctoral dissertation and student notebooks, correspondence with composers and colleagues in the fields of musicology and librarianship, awards and honorary degrees, manuscript and printed music, programs, clippings, artwork, photographs, and papers and printed matter from his numerous associations.

The Correspondence series contains both personal and business-related correspondence, dating from 1924 to 1984. The correspondence spans his adult life and reflects his friendships with musicologists, librarians, and musicians. It includes letters from Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, Gertrude Clarke Whittall, Jascha Heifetz, Leonard Bernstein (photo-greeting cards), Aaron Copland, Carl Engel, Otto Kinkeldey, Luigi Dallapiccola, Dayton C. Miller, Isaac Stern (photo-greeting cards), Riccardo Malipiero, Roy Harris, Elie Siegmeister, Higini Anglès, Richard Angell, Igor Stravinsky, and many other notable figures from the worlds of music and music librarianship. There is extensive correspondence with the composer Alberto Ginastera, the music critic Olin Downes, and Fritz Oberdörffer, a friend from Spivacke's student days in Berlin who Spivacke assisted in his efforts to leave Germany around the time of the Second World War.

The Writings series contains representative material from Spivacke's studies at the University of Berlin, his dissertation Über die objektive und subjektive Tonintensität (Beyond Objective and Subjective Tonal Intensity), and student notebooks. Other materials include essays, notes for speeches and presentations, writings about Spivacke by others, and a number of articles and essays dealing with music.

The Photographs series includes official and professional photoprints of Spivacke, notable individuals, and friends and family. There are photoprints, some of which are signed, of Gertrude Clarke Whittall, Patrick Saul, Olin Downes, Otto Kinkeldey, Alberto Ginastera, Ira Gershwin, Percy Grainger, and several performing groups, including the Budapest and London string quartets. In addition, there are photographs of Albert and Alfred Einstein, Eugen d'Albert, family portraits of Spivacke with his wife Rose Marie, and a large number of scenic shots of Spivacke's home and from trips to Europe, including two photo albums dating from 1929-1930.

The Artwork series includes small watercolors by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, a charcoal portrait of Spivacke from 1929 by George Beline, and a reproduction of a charcoal portrait of Spivacke's first wife, Carolyn Le Fèvre, also by Beline. The Music series includes holograph scores inscribed to Harold Spivacke and signed by Luigi Dallapiccola and Riccardo Malipiero. Other materials in the collection include printed programs from various concerts, clippings and other printed matter, numerous awards and medals, and a few financial and legal papers, primarily dating from his days in Germany.
