Luigi Silva Cello Music Collection
 | Luigi Silva (1903-1961) - Italian-born violoncellist, teacher, and musicologist. He was a member of the Quartetto di Roma, the Mannes-Gimpel-Silva Trio, and other chamber music groups. Silva taught at several schools, including the Eastman School of Music, Juilliard, the Peabody Conservatory, and Yale University. His collection of approximately 1775 music scores and 13 boxes of archival materials is housed in the Special Collections Division of Jackson Library at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The music scores have been cataloged and may be searched through Jackson Library's online catalog. Two rare recordings of Luigi Silva and his music are available through the UNCG School of Music. The first is a 1943 live recording of Mr. Silva and his students performing seven Boccherini sonatas with Mr. Silva's piano realizations. The second is a recording of 12 of Silva's transcriptions by cellist Elizabeth Anderson and pianist Arthur Tollefson. To obtain copies of these limited editions, please contact UNCG Cello Professor Dr. Brooks Whitehouse at cello_studio@uncg.edu.
