Composer, author, and collector Gisella Selden-Goth (1884-1975) placed her impressive collection of music manuscripts on deposit with the Library of Congress in 1963. The collection was microfilmed and returned to her on loan for retention during her lifetime. Selden-Goth was a pupil of Busoni and Bartók, and the collection contains original scores of both of these composers as well as many others, including Liszt, Brahms, Bruckner, Franck, Chopin, and Mahler.
