Lewis F. Machold's Miscellany of Music, bound music manuscripts, 3 volumes, United States (South Carolina), 1810-1815

Approximately 225 compositions across three volumes (volumes 1(?), 3, and 4) of repertoire books compiled by Lewis F. Machold, likely a professional musician, possibly of German background and training, in Columbia, South Carolina, in the early 1800s. The music, both American and European in origin and generally secular in nature, spans the range of genres and complexity, indicating the variety of contexts in which Machold likely performed. They include some original compositions by Machold and possibly others.
