Due to Charles Ives’s compositional process - working on many sketches of pieces

simultaneously and revising them as well - no single manuscript the “Concord Sonata” exists.
Rather, the manuscript exists in several fragmented pieces, consisted of partial pencil and ink
sketches and partial recordings taken from his personal effects which are collected in The
Charles Ives Papers.
