Manuscripts of Mahler, Schoenberg

[dwil9798]

Does anyone know of any websites that contain original, autographed manuscripts of Mahler or Schoenberg that can be viewed on the internet?

The Arnold Schoenberg Center website (http://www.schoenberg.at go to Arnold Schoenberg on the left hand menu and choose compositions; where the sources are available there will be a link) has a pretty good collection of manuscripts--final scores, drafts & sketches--which may be downloaded. Here, for example, is the first page of The Book of the Hanging Gardens: http://www.schoenberg.at/scans/Ms15/Ms15/A_1.jpg

A particularly fascinating document is the large sketchbook that covers the 1920s: http://www.schoenberg.at/6_archiv/music ... ok_5_e.htm#

That Kaplan conductor commissioned a facsimile of Mahler's 2nd. Does anyone has it? That would be interesting to see
