Organization

This subseries has been organized by type of composition into five subseries: 1. Chamber works; 2. Piano pieces; 3. Orchestral and large ensemble works; 4. Vocal and choral works; 5. Arrangements.

All of the paper materials in these subseries were originally labeled by Dahl as either "[Name of composition]/scores/parts", "Finished sketches", "[Name of composition]/sketches", "Old compositions and first versions", or "All sketches 1940-1957", and housed in various locations throughout his original boxes. In order to facilitate access, the various versions of identified compositions have been housed and identified together, and arranged alphabetically within each subseries.
