Music Research and Information Competence Centre KoFIM Berlin project

柏林国家艺术图书馆（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，对于专注于原始资料的音乐学分支来说，它们是取之不尽的信息基金。大量音乐手稿中的一部分，包括世界上最好的巴赫家族、路德维希货车贝多芬、沃尔夫冈·阿玛迪斯·莫扎特、费利克斯·门德尔松·巴托尔迪和卡尔·玛丽亚·冯·韦伯的亲笔签名汇编，具有世界遗产地位。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，并将其更详细地登记在RISM/Kallisto数据库中。Kallisto文档软件由SBB和RISM（国际音乐资源汇编）共同开发。与所记录的来源有关的元数据随后将在RISM-OPAC系统上提供，可在全世界查阅（http：//opac.rism.info/）。该项目远远超出了记录和登记材料的传统方法。在分析手稿时，将强调“字体风格”，“水印”和“签名的起源”，除了口头描述外，还将通过水印和关键，原始手写页面的数字化来可视化。目前正在使用新的热成像技术将水印数字化，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，以显示和储存水印图像，这项工作除其他外，可望揭示所审查的材料之间的相互关系（以及与其他有价值的材料库存的相互参照），这些关系对音乐史具有重要意义。研究结果将有助于研究者对这些作品进行时间和地理上的整理，并研究它们是如何被创作、接受和流传的。这将滋养和丰富音乐学研究的其他领域，如表演的历史，来源和记谱法的研究，特别是传记写作和音乐史学。拟议的项目有兴趣在最新方法的帮助下，改善现场音乐手稿工作的条件，改善柏林和更远地方的研究人员进行研究的环境。他们的活动。因此，它为自己设定了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的目标。在过去的几十年里，对音乐资源的研究-这是音乐学领域与历史有关的基础-从大学引进到专门的图书馆，如国家广播局的音乐系。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.
