Music Research and Information Competence Centre KoFIM Berlin project

柏林国立艺术图书馆(SBB)的音乐系是世界上最大的音乐系之一。这些档案在主题、数量和密度方面都是独一无二的，是专注于原始来源的音乐学分支取之不尽的信息资源。包括巴赫家族、路德维希·范·贝多芬、沃尔夫冈·阿马迪乌斯·莫扎特、费利克斯·门德尔松·巴托尔迪和卡尔·玛丽亚·冯·韦伯在内的世界上最好的亲笔签名集，这些庞大的音乐手稿中的一部分具有世界遗产地位。拟议中的项目涉及签名档案的很大一部分，其中包含大约20个签名。一万个货架标记。该计划是对17世纪至19世纪中期的手写文字进行研究，并将它们更详细地登记在RISM/Kalisto数据库中。Kalisto文档软件是由SBB和RISM(Repertoire International Des Sources Musicales)联合开发的。与文件来源相关的元数据随后将在RISM-OPAC系统上提供，可在全球范围内访问(http://opac.rism.info/).该项目远远超越了记录和登记材料的传统方法。在对手稿的分析中，将重点放在“文字风格”、“水印”和“亲笔签名的由来”等方面，这些方面除了文字描述外，还将通过数字化水印和关键的原始手写页面来可视化。新的热像仪技术正被用于水印的数字化，图书馆正在与DFG资助的“水印信息系统”(WZIS，http://www.wasserzeichen-online.de/wzis/index.php)项目)合作，评估和存储水印图像。除其他外，这项工作有望揭示正在研究的材料内部的相互关系(以及对其他有价值的材料的交叉引用)，这些关系对音乐史具有重要影响。这些结果将有助于研究人员从年表和地理角度安排这些作品，并研究它们是如何创作、接受和传承给后人的。这将滋养和肥沃音乐学研究的其他领域，如表演的历史，来源和符号的研究，特别是传记写作和一般的音乐史学。拟议的项目感兴趣的是，在最新方法的帮助下，促进现场使用音乐手稿的条件，并改善柏林和更远的地方的研究人员开展活动的环境。因此，它为自己设定的目标是将音乐系从一个纯粹以服务为导向的图书馆扩展为一个最先进的研究中心。在过去的几十年里，对来源的研究--这是与历史有关的音乐学领域的基础--从大学引进到专门的图书馆，如SBB的音乐系。现在，灵感和冲动直接来自图书馆。

The music department of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (State Art Library) (SBB) is one of the largest institutions of its kind in the world. The archives are unique in terms of subject, volume and density and are an inexhaustible fund of information for the branch of musicology focusing on primary sources. Parts of the large collection of music manuscripts, which includes the world’s finest assembly of autographs by the Bach family, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Carl Maria von Weber, have world-heritage status.The proposed project relates to a significant portion of the autograph archive, which contains approx. 10,000 shelf marks. The plan is to conduct research into the handwritten scripts dating from the 17th to mid-19th centuries and to register them in greater detail in the RISM/Kallisto database. The Kallisto documentation software was jointly developed by the SBB and RISM (Repertoire International des Sources Musicales). The metadata associated with the sources documented will then be made available on the RISM-OPAC system, accessible worldwide (http://opac.rism.info/). The project goes far beyond conventional methods of documenting and registering material. In the analysis of manuscripts there will be an emphasis on “Style of lettering”, “Watermarks” and “Origin of Autographs”, aspects that, in addition to their verbal descriptions, will also be visualized through the digitization of watermarks and key, original, handwritten pages. The new thermography technology is being used for the digitization of watermarks and the Library is collaborating with the DFG-funded “Watermarks Information System” (WZIS, http://www.wasserzeichen-online.de/wzis/index.php) project in evincing and storing the watermark images.This work can be expected to reveal, among other things, interrelations within the material under examination (and cross-references to other valuable stocks of material) that have important implications for the history of music. The results will help the researchers to arrange the works with respect to chronology and geography and to study how they were created, received and handed down to later generations. This will nourish and fertilize other areas of musicological research such as the history of performances given, the study of sources and notation, and also biography writing in particular and music historiography in general.The proposed project is interested in fostering, with the help of the latest methods, the conditions in which work with the musical manuscripts on site takes place and improving the environment in which researchers in Berlin and further afield conduct their activities. It thus sets itself the aim of expanding the music department from a purely service-oriented library into a state-of-the-art research centre. In previous decades research into sources – the basis of that area of musicology which is concerned with history – was imported from the universities into specialized libraries such as the music department of the SBB. Now the inspiration and impulse is coming direct from the library.
