Biographical Sketch

Edward Steuermann was born June 18, 1892, in Sambor, a small Polish city in eastern Galicia (now part of the Ukraine). His study of the piano began in 1904 with the Czech pianist and teacher Vilem Kurz and continued, first in Basel in 1910 and then in Berlin, with Ferruccio Busoni. His first composition teacher of note was Engelbert Humperdinck, but Steuermann's inclinations towards the modern idiom made him seek instruction elsewhere. At Busoni's suggestion, Steuermann began studying with Arnold Schoenberg in 1912, thus initiating a professional association that was to figure prominently in Steuermann's career as both composer and pianist. Beginning with Pierrot lunaire, Steuermann performed in the premiere of almost every Schoenberg work for which a pianist was required. While in Vienna, he served as the pianist for the Verein für Musikalische Privataufführungen (Society for Private Musical Performances) founded by Schoenberg in 1918 to introduce newer works there. Concurrent with these activities, Steuermann began a distinguished teaching career that would continue through the remainder of his life.

Steuermann emigrated to the United States in 1938, where he continued to perform, to teach, and to compose. His recitals encompassed both the traditional repertory, particularly the music of Beethoven, and contemporary works more in keeping with the idiom of the Schoenberg school and his own compositions. After a brief association with the New School and several summer sessions at Juilliard, Steuermann joined the Juilliard faculty in 1952 and taught there until his death. His students included Theodor W. Adorno, Alfred Brendel, Jakob Gimpel, Lorin Hollander and Joseph Kalichstein. Although his performing was limited during this period, he did continue to compose, with a piano trio (1954), the string quartet, Diary (1961), his Variations for orchestra (1958), the cantata Auf der Galerie (1963-64), and a Suite for Chamber Orchestra (1964). Notable among his earlier composing activities are his piano pieces and songs and his arrangements and transcriptions, particularly those of Schoenberg and Webern.

Clara Silvers Steuermann was born on February 10, 1922, in Los Angeles. After studying piano and composition at the City College there, she began her studies in music theory with Arnold Schoenberg at UCLA, while maintaining her study of the piano with Jacob Gimpel. She became one of Schoenberg's teaching assistants in 1942, beginning a lifelong personal association with him. Upon receiving her master's degree in 1944, at Schoenberg's and Gimpel's suggestion she moved to New York to study piano with Edward Steuermann. They were married in 1949.

Between 1951 and Edward Steuermann's death from leukemia in 1964, Clara Steuermann served as an administrative assistant at the Juilliard Opera Theater and earned a Master of Library Science from the Columbia Library School. After holding a number of positions with the New York Philharmonic, the Kingsborough Community College, and the Juilliard library, she moved with her daughters Rebecca and Rachel to Cleveland to build a library at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Her next post was at the Schoenberg Institute at the University of Southern California, where she organized the Schoenberg collection and administered the archive. Throughout her career, Steuermann was active in the Music Library Association, of which she was president for the 1975-1976 term. Her involvement with the international music-library community was also reflected by her activities in the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), particularly from the mid-1970's to her death in January 1982.

Scope and Content Note

The Edward and Clara Steuermann Collection consists primarily of the music (both manuscript and printed) and writings of Edward Steuermann, and the correspondence of both Edward and Clara Steuermann. The date span of the collection is from 1922 to 1981, the bulk of the materials dating from the 1930's to the 1970's.

The music in the collection includes holograph scores or sketches of most of Steuermann's compositions, both published and unpublished, as well as a number of copyist's scores and a few printed instrumental parts or scores. Steuermann's arrangements and transcriptions of works by Busoni, Poulenc, Schoenberg, Webern, and various 18th- and 19th-century composers are well represented by holograph scores also. Steuermann's collection of music by other composers includes both manuscript scores of friends and colleagues such as Hanns Eisler, Erich Itor Kahn, Earl Kim and René Leibowitz, and a large selection of printed scores of music from the 18th through the 20th centuries, many with Steuermann's annotations.

The correspondence in the collection consists of both the general and family correspondence of Edward and Clara Steuermann, dating from 1922 through Clara Steuermann's death in 1981. The general correspondence includes letters between the Steuermanns and Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern, Ferruccio Busoni, and Theodor Adorno. Particularly lengthy is the correspondence with Rudolf and Lorna Kolisch, René Leibowitz, and Hans Moller. The family correspondence contains primarily letters to and from Berthold and Salka Viertel and the Gielen family.

Writings in the collection encompass a broad range of materials, such as manuscript and typescript essays by Edward Steuermann, transcripts of excerpts from Steuermann's letters discussing musical matters, lectures and speeches, program and liner notes, interview transcripts, and letters of recommendation for various students and colleagues. Writings by others about Steuermann are also included, as is a typescript autobiographical essay by Steuermann's mother, Augusta Steuermann. There are a number of poetic texts as well, manuscript and typescript, in various languages, including poems by Berthold Viertel and Berthold Brecht.

Other materials include: printed programs of music composed or performed by Steuermann or his students; clippings and other printed matter; papers of the Edward Steuermann Memorial Society; a few financial and legal papers; and several photographs. Additionally there are 4 boxes of materials acquired by Clara Steuermann between 1974 and 1981 concerning the activities of the International Federation of Music Libraries (IFLA), an organization in which she was active during the last decade of her life.
