that's the entire collection?  wait a minute.  *gets out magnifying glass. 

i'm sorry, but my teacher of late eigtheenth and early nineteenth century music impressed me more by his personal knowledge.  these plaques on the wall mean nothing.  i put things like this on the wall all the time.  (though i usually put up my daughter's artwork).

maybe this isn't the entire collection?  are there any figurines to go with it.  bust heads?  some art work? 

ok.  i apologize ahead of time.  maybe if i saw this in person i wouldn't yawn.

chill there, just showing ya something fun...  yah, not a big collection. There're some Tchaikovsky's there too... according to the posts, it sounded like the person there decided not to post them all?  Of course, if you wanna see some shockingly large collections, just go to a museum, the music manuscript room, or some school libraries... I'm sure it's more satisfactory...

I'd be far more interested in collecting Mozart's letters. The man wrote at least a dozen a week and many still exist in the hands of some private collectors.

I'd love to be able to have Mozart perform a recital at my house at the age of 6, and sneakily bring a kitten into the room! Imagine cute little Mozart playing with ickle-kittie-kins whilst everybody else 'humphs' at me for interrupting the recital

There is a HUGE amount of letters, correspondance between Liszt and Wagner.

It was collected and published into books.

It's no biggie to find some.

And yea, LL is crazy about collecting this kind of things.

I hope he won't get the lock of hairs of Beethoven though. It would be such a depressing moment of human kind.
