This collection contains sheet music owned by cellist and instructor János Starker. Publication and composition dates range from the late 19th century through the early 21st century, with the bulk of materials falling to the middle of the 20th century. A number of the musical scores were written for, or sent directly to Starker and some amount of correspondence is attached to these items. The personal papers component of this collection includes a wide array of concert programs, photographs, correspondence, and writings both by and about Starker.
