Coolidge
(1864-1953), one of the great patrons of music, created at the Library
of Congress the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation for the support

Library
of Congress, the composition and performance of music in ways which
might
otherwise be considered too unique or too expensive to be ordinarily
undertaken. Notes:
