Opening hours: M–F 12:00–17:00, temporarily closedHead: Irina Viacheslavovna Brezhneva (tel. +7 495 629-50-56) Sector of Manuscripts, Head: Galina Mikhailovna Malinina (tel. +7 495 629-50-56) Holdings publications and manuscripts—15,300 units (late 15th–early 20th cc.); church music manuscripts—ca. 50 units; music scores—ca. 20 units The basis of the holdings in this division came from the private collections of V.F. Odoevskii, A.Ia. Scriabin (Skriabin), A.V. Panaeva-Kartseva, and S.I. Taneev. The Taneev Collection includes numerous autographs of the composer’s contemporaries, friends, colleagues, students, and publishers, with dedicatory inscriptions by such fellow-composers as P.I. Tchaikovsky, N.A. Rimskii-Korsakov, S.V. Rakhmaninov, A.S. Arenskii, N.D. Kashkin, and E.A. Kuper, among others. Many books in the Odoevskii Collection are inscribed with autographs and have bookplates. The music scores contain handwritten notes by their owners and numerous pencil corrections. The rarities in this collection include a transcription of the Joseph Haydn oratorio, “The Creation,” by A.E. Müller, published by Breitkopf in German and Italian with a Russian translation written below in various hands. There is also a manuscript of “Scipio in Spain” by Baldassare Galuppi (1745) and copies of scores with the autograph of Franz Liszt. The division has manuscript scores of early Russian church music (15th–18th cc.), most of which came from the collection of the musicologist N.F. Findeizen. Many of these manuscripts have notes made by, among others, Professor S.V. Smolenskii of the Moscow Conservatory, who was a specialist on early Russian music. Here there are manuscript codices of music written in early Russian non-linear neumatic notation, the most interesting of which are a late fifteenth-century compilation of antiphonic melodies, an early seventeenth-century compilation in neumatic notation, and an eighteenth-century linear score of the “All-Night Vigil” of a Kyivan eighteenth-century melody. There is also a manuscript containing rules for singing to non-linear neumatic notation (obikhod znamennyi); a complete late seventeenth-century oktoikh (i.e. a book of canticles composed for eight voices, containing verses from the Gospels set to music); and a manuscript copy dated 1743 of Nikolai Diletskii’s “The Grammar of Music” (Musikiiskaia grammatika)(1670). The division also holds manuscript scores of operatic and vocal works by Russian and foreign composers. These include works written by the director of the Court Capella, A.F. L'vov (1798–1870), the manuscript score of an unknown opera by L.V. Maurer (1798–1878), and a copy of the cantata composed by A.D. Kastal'skii (1856–1926), among others. The division has the manuscript volumes of the works of the composer A.N. Verstovskii (the so-called Verstovskii Library) and manuscript copies of musical compositions from the collection made by A.Ia. Skariatin, secretary of the Russian Embassy in Rome. There is also the manuscript biobibliographical card catalogue of Russian musicians compiled by N.F. Findeizen. There are manuscript collections of Russian folk songs, includingthose written down by the well-known collector of folklore, N.E. Pal'chikov (1839–1888), and four notebooks of Russian folk songs collected by the writer and musician M.A. Stakhovich (1819–1858), many with autographs. There is also a manuscript written byM.I. Medvedeva, a former director of the library, containing information on the history of the library since its founding. N.B. Some of the music scores and books from the S.I. Taneev Collection are to be found in the P.I. Tchaikovsky State House-Museum in Klin. Working conditions: Normally, manuscripts are available in the reading room the day they are ordered. Reference facilities: Opisi have been compiled for only part of the manuscript materials. Many of them are covered by the general catalogues of the division. A full catalogue of the manuscripts is in process. |
