Larry Schoenberg expressed the severity of the loss, stating, 'We lost everything,' highlighting the impact of the wildfires on their music publishing company and collection.
Leon Botstein noted that Belmont Music Publishers was an 'indispensable resource' for accessing Schoenberg's works, indicating the extensive role it played in performance preparations.
Discussing the aftermath, Botstein warned, 'Some ensembles could be forced to make changes to their upcoming programs because the scores they need will not be available from Belmont,' showcasing the disruption faced by musicians.
The fire destroyed over 100,000 scores and parts, making it a 'catastrophe' for musicians who relied on Belmont for their performances of Schoenberg's music.
