Abstract
Owing to the presence of numerous Warsaw artists coming to Gdańsk in the 1920s, the city (and even the entire Tricity area) gained significance as a new Polish music cultural centre. The culture immediately gained the status of high culture due to dynamically developing music education, which had not collapsed even in the face of the outbreak of World War II. Despite excellent cultural conditions, musical activity with regard to publishing sheet music was at the other extreme. Basic Polish music literature was not available in the library of the State High School of Music (established in 1947), therefore, in order to study the students used the sheet music gathered by the lecturers, who would purchase them in Warsaw antiquarian bookshops, selecting the best publications. At present their history constitutes valuable material for provenance and musicological research, mainly due to the proprietary marks and personal notes in the documents.
