The selection of 25 original manuscripts and artifacts, belonging to such composers as Beethoven, Schubert, Mahler, Mozart, and Richard Strauss, is on loan from Vienna's Society of the Friends of Music. The exhibition forms part of Carnegie Hall's citywide Vienna: City of Dreams festival, featuring performances from the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Vienna State Opera.
