Funkcja warszawskich druków muzycznych wydanych w latach 1875- 1918, na przykładzie czterech największych kolekcji przechowywanych w Bibliotece Głównej Akademii Muzycznej im. Stanisława Moniuszki w Gdańsku

Abstract

The article presents a fragment of provenance researches conducted on the largest mu­sical legacies stored in the Main Library of the Stanisław Moniuszko Music Academy in Gdańsk, containing music prints published in Warsaw in the years 1875-1918. These legacies belonged primarily to the musicians who, after World War II, moved to the Coast, mainly from Warsaw. The purpose of the discussion is to prove that the music prints they brought were a canon of mu­sic literature for promoting Polish culture and music education both in Warsaw in 1875-1918 and in post-war Gdańsk. Due to the weak publishing situation in Tricity, the musicians were forced to use their own collections, which properties prove that these prints were used primarily by artists to promote Polish music, to train new generations of professional musicians, and thus to develop Polish higher music education.
