Каталог сочинений М. О. Штейнберга: принципы систематизации

Abstract

The article is devoted to the questions of systematization and compilation of works by the well-known Russian composer, conductor and teacher, Maximilian Steinberg. Catalogues and lists of compositions present themselves as the most important sources for studying his legacy. The original features in the composer’s musical works determine the approach towards their description and compilation of the catalogue. On the foundation of analysis of lists of Steinberg’s compositions existent in various sources, various variants of their systematization are disclosed. The absence of a comprehensive catalogue of Steinberg’s compositions and works, which would use methods of codicological and textological descriptions, is acknowledged. The author presents this type of scheme of compilation of a Catalogue of Steinberg’s Works with the consideration of all his known musical compositions. On the basis of codicological and textological description of sources a systematization of all musical autograph scores is proposed, and new archival materials are introduced into scholarly use. The article is of scholarly and practical significance for researchers of music history, musicologists engaged in textological work, and archivists. Keywords: source study, catalogues of manuscripts, Maximilian Steinberg, codicological and textological description.
