Series II: Compositions by Donner includes works written by Max Donner, both handwritten and printed. It is arranged alphabetically by title.
Series III: Donner's Music Library includes works that Donner collected for performance or practice. Many of these items have performance notes. This series is broken down into eight sub-series following groupings created by Donner. They are then arranged alphabetically by composer within those groupings.
