Arto,
Singacademie was in Berlin, and it was instrumental in preservation of JSB's
works
and reputation, when it was led by C.F.Zelter and Mendelssohn.
Its archive was taken to Kiev as war booty, and stored at the conservatory.
The archive survived
intact, unlike the collection of Lubeck Kunsthalle which was stolen
piecemeal by the professors
of Kiev Art Academy where it was stored.

New try. I sent this already yesterday, but it has not appeared. Sorry if
this becomes a double:

Very interesting and huge ms.! Thanks all involved!
Eagerly waiting also the intro by François-Pierre Goy in the Tree edition
to come.
Before that proper analysis, it would be very interesting to hear at least
something of the history of that ms. -- the 17th century history and also
the 20th century history: the role of Kiev -- I can guess the point of
history when the ms. was taken there... And what and where was that
"Singakademie"? And how can this ms. be so clear? It looks like
written/copied later than 17th century? The pen and the writing style
looks more like 19th or even 20th century style. Could it have be written
by some musicologist, who just copied many original 17th century mss.?
Best,
Arto

Dear lute netters,
That's the famous manuscript of the Singakademie who came back from Kiew
in the year 2000. I bought a microfiche and in February I was in Berlin,
made the physical description and took photos of the watermarks etc. -
and they didn't told me that they will publish the PDF...
But anyway: That's a great gift! A big thank you to the library and to
Rainer who shared the link!
François-Pierre Goy and Tim Crawford are working on this very important
source. François-Pierre Goy wrote an article and a whole inventory - but
I don't know where it will be published. I will ask him when he's back
from his holiday.
Enjoy the source!
