Holdings

Total: 1 fonds, 26,166 units, 1865–1961
photographs—2,667 (1876–1961); letters—13,534 units (1867–1961); documents—2,220 units (1865–1961); concert and theater programs—7,459 units (1867–1961); rare books—214 (1751–1920s); autographs—72 units (1823–1961)

The archival holdings consist of several collections: original autograph copies of works, concert and theater programs, and collections of rare books. The basis of the fond is made up of personal papers and documents connected with the work of Gol'denveizer as professor and director of the Moscow Conservatory and Chairman of the Moscow Music Council (Moskovskii muzykal'nyi sovet). It includes manuscripts of musical compositions by Gol'denveizer, and articles and memoirs written by and about him. There are also forty manuscript notebooks of his diaries (1889–1961), as well as his correspondence with Lev Tolstoi and members of Tolstoi's family, S.V. Rakhmaninov, N.K. Metner, G.L. Katuar, R.M. Glier, and D.D. Shostakovich, among others.
        The photograph archive contains autographed photographs of N.A. Rimskii-Korsakov, A.K. Glazunov, S.I. Taneev, S.V. Rakhmaninov, M.A. Chekhov, and K.S. Stanislavskii. There are also pictures taken at Iasnaia Poliana during L.N. Tolstoi's lifetime.
        The collection of concert and theater programs reflects the musical world of Moscow from 1886 to the 1960s, although there are a few documents relating to an earlier period (from 1867). Some of the programs contain notes written by Gol'denveizer.
        The museum contains a collection of rare books, some of them autographed by A.I. Odoevskii, V.A. Zhukovskii, and E.A. Baratynskii. One of the rarities is an album that formerly belonged to Princess Golitsyna containing original handwritten pieces by A.S. Pushkin, F.I. Tiutchev, Gioacchino Rossini, and Giacomo Meyerbeer.
