Collecting Musical instruments - Rück for instance

成立于1880年的德国纽伦堡国家博物馆（GNM）收藏的r<s:1> ck乐器是德国私人拥有的最大的历史乐器收藏。从1929年起，该藏品创始人之子李立基（Ulrich r<e:1> ck）煞费苦心地与1022位合作伙伴以精确的信件记录了几乎所有的活动。17200封信件和明信片中的全面和详细的文件将其归类为大萧条和所谓的经济奇迹之间的一系列文物起源的独特来源。这些信件连同大约1500件乐器和其他材料，由GNM于1962年购买。尤其重要的是与专家的交流。直到1943年，作为一项重要收购前的付费服务，他向科隆的音乐学家乔治·金斯基（Georg Kinsky）咨询意见。柏林的乐器保管员阿道夫·哈特曼（Adolf Hartmann）对质量和市场价格的看法。这些文件连同有关下列交易的信件，使1929年至1962年历史乐器的价目表首次得以建立。这些信息将与有关收购情况和直接前业主的研究结果一起在网上公布。将作为专著出版的进一步调查主题是使收藏成为欧洲网络一部分的收集、交流和营销策略。

The Rück collection in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg (GNM), founded in 1880 has been the largest German collection of historical musical instruments in private ownership. From 1929 onward, Ulrich Rück, son of the collection founder, documented virtually all activities in a painstakingly precise correspondence with 1,022 partners. The comprehensiveness and detailed documentation within the 17,200 letters and postcards classifies it as unique source about the genesis of a collection of cultural objects between the Great Depression and the so-called Economic Miracle. Together with ca. 1.500 musical instruments and further material, the correspondence was purchased by GNM in 1962. Of particular importance is Rück's exchange with experts. Up to 1943, he asked, as a paid service before important acquisitions, the advice of the Cologne-based musicologist Georg Kinsky resp. the musical instrument conservator Adolf Hartmann in Berlin about quality and market prices. Together with the letters concerning the following deal, these documents allow for the first time to establish a price list for historic musical instruments between 1929 and 1962. Together with research results about the acquisition circumstances and the immediate pre-owners, this information will be published on-line. Further subjects of investigation which will be published as a monograph are the strategies of collecting, communication and marketing that made the collection part of a European network.
