Mayor Hints of a Deal for King's Papers, As Scholars Caution on
Copyright Issue
BY KATE TAYLOR - Staff Reporter of the Sun
June 20, 2006

Two Pulitzer Prize-winning scholars are asserting that the collection
of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s papers, going on exhibit
tomorrow at Sotheby's and being auctioned on June 30, is not worth any
research institution's investment of between $15 million and $30
million, given the conditions of the sale, under which the King estate
retains copyright control. These constraints have undermined previous
attempts to sell the collection.

Composers' Autograph Manuscripts at the Morgan Museum
By ANTHONY TOMMASINI
AUTOGRAPH manuscripts by master composers are, naturally, invaluable
resources for music scholars and specialists. The manuscript of
Chopin's Variations for Piano and Orchestra on the theme "Là ci darem
la mano" from Mozart's "Don Giovanni," for example, definitively
reveals Chopin's first thoughts about this ambitious early work. But
examining the manuscript recently at the Morgan Library and Museum, I
was struck more by what it reveals about the character of its
17-year-old composer. And this is something that all music lovers, not
just specialists, can glean from seeing the score.
