INTRODUCTION
)
Returning to Europe, Emonts toured during 1924-25. He then moved to New York City where he performed with the New York Symphony Orchestra, which later became the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Emonts was a regular performer in the Lewisohn Stadium summer concerts series of the 1930's. In the early 1950's, Emonts performed with the Firestone Symphony Orchestra (conducted by Harold Barlow) on the popular television show The Voice of Firestone.)
From the 1938 until his death, Emonts lived and taught from his home in North Bellmore, New York, a suburb of New York City on the shores of Long Island. The material of this collection ended up in several cardboard boxes which I purchased at a yard sale in 1970. Emonts and I literally lived 'around the block' from each other. Although I passed his home many times while growing up, I never met him or knew who he was until I acquired his personal papers--which have remained in my possession for over 40 years.)
