Paul A. Pisk (b. Vienna, May 16, 1893; d. Los Angeles, Jan. 12, 1990), the internationally acclaimed composer, musicologist, critic, teacher and pedagogue was visiting professor of musicology at Washington University from 1963 through 1972. In 1980, Pisk bequeathed his library of books, scores and manuscripts to the Gaylord Music Library. Pisk’s own manuscripts include holographs in pen and ink, pencil and Ditto of his music, lectures and essays. Also there are some copyist’s manuscripts as well as some Ozalid and other facsimiles. While most are unbound, some are either soft or hard bound. The music ranges from songs and piano pieces to larger choral and dramatic works.
