Sheet Music from the National Library of the Czech Republic
Twenty-six volumes from the collections of the Music Department of the National Library of the Czech Republic were digitised in 2023. Most of them come from the period between the turn of the 19th century and the first half of the 19th century and have been acquired by the National Library from the collection of Ludvík Hornov. These are scores of various works, composed i.a. by Jakub Jan Ryba, Jan Křtitel Vaňhal, Vinzenz Maschek and Vojtěch Jírovec. A smaller part of the digitised group comes from the music collection of the Strachota family of schoolmasters and cantors from Panenský Týnec and Vrbno – it also included the oldest document, a collection of organ compositions i.a. by Josef Seger and František Xaver Brixi from 1773 (shelf mark 59 R 3876).
