\"Item<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unique musical scores, in particular music manuscripts, are a valuable source for researching Croatia\u2019s musical history.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holdings<\/strong>  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Collection\u2019s resources include particularly valuable, older items dating back to the beginnings of music recording as well as Croatian contemporary music releases, which the Collection has been assembling for several decades. Its holdings currently include around 17,000 volumes of printed music, over 3,000 volumes of manuscript music scores, some 24,000 record releases, 5,800 cassettes, 11,000 CD releases and a number of born-digital music releases.  
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music manuscripts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Item<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Collection\u2019s greatest treasures are the manuscript scores by Croatian composers and their personal archives containing unique material, such as autograph manuscripts. Along with sheet music, these invaluable archives also include various additional research-relevant resources such as personal correspondence, photographs, concert programmes, critical reviews, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particularly standing out among these types of resources are the music manuscripts by and personal archives of the author of the first Croatian opera Vatroslav Lisinski<\/a> and many other distinguished Croatian composers such as Blagoje Bersa<\/a>, Ivan Zajc<\/a>, Ferdo Livadi\u0107, Ivan Padovec, Bo\u017eidar \u0160irola, Jakov Gotovac, Fran Lhotka, Ivan Brkanovi\u0107, Antun Dobroni\u0107, Stanislav Preprek, Croatia\u2019s notable 20th<\/sup>-century woman composer Ivana Lang<\/a>, Nikola Glassl, Toma Pro\u0161ev, Miro Belamari\u0107, Miroslav Mileti\u0107, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Collection holds the original scores of well-known and frequently performed Croatian operas such as the first Croatian opera, Ljubav i zloba<\/a><\/u><\/em>, and Porin<\/a><\/u>,<\/em> by Vatroslav Lisinski, and Nikola \u0160ubi\u0107-Zrinjski<\/a><\/u><\/em>, Mislav<\/a><\/u><\/em> and Ban Leget<\/a><\/u><\/em>, by Ivan Zajc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printed music   <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Printed music in the Collection includes music scores, publications featuring compositions for various musical ensembles and instruments, anthologies and educational material such as textbooks and tutorials for individual instruments. Apart from classical music material, the Collection assembles hymnals and music of religious character, Croatian folk songs, both traditional and composed, as well as popular music releases, such as hits, pop songs and songs performed as part of music festivals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music recordings   <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Item<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Collection contains a large number of music releases on different media which it has systematically been assembling since the beginning of music recording industry in Croatia. Particularly valuable among these releases are the historic shellac records dating from the beginning of sound recording and music publishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u010capka Music Collection (Fonoteka \u010capka)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Exceptionally valuable among the Collection\u2019s holdings is The \u010capka Music Collection (Fonoteka \u010capka<\/a>), comprising more than 6,000 gramophone records, donated to the Collection by engineer Eduard \u010capka, and including a wide variety of releases, ranging from the old 78 rpm shellac records to more recent vinyl records featuring both Croatian and foreign classical and popular music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reference collection  <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Collection\u2019s reading room makes available an extensive collection of various reference works and other publications in the field of music.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital resources <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Collection\u2019s digitised resources are available on the NSK Digital Collections<\/a> and NSK Digitised Music<\/a> websites.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also research the earliest recordings in the history of Croatian sound recording on the Sounds of the Past<\/a> website, which also brings overviews of the beginnings of sound recording in Croatia and digitised library material thematising that era.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access to collection items<\/strong> <\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Owing to their great value and the need for careful handling, resources in the Collection, including the accompanying collection of reference works, may only be consulted in the Collection\u2019s reading room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening booths with the accompanying audio-visual equipment for individual or group work are also available.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
