Autographed Scores

Scores and gramophone records donated to the National Library of Russia

The Printed Music and Recorded Sound collections contain rarities such as printed scores bearing autographs. Among them are autographs of well-known composers signed a copy just after its publication. One can find many copies inscribed by the owner. Dedication copis with author's presentation inscription to someone, including the Library, are not infrequent.
