Conference: "Music for Stringed Instruments: Music Archives and the Materials of Musicological Research in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries"

23rd-24th June 2010, School of Music, University of Cardiff, Wales, U.K.

Preliminary Announcement:

This conference will take place as part of a 4-year Arts & Humanities Research Council-funded research project focusing on 19th- and early 20th-century performing editions of string chamber music - texts which are invaluable sources for empirical evidence about performance practices during that period. The topics this conference is expected to address will include 19th- and early 20th-century publishing history, comparative studies of editions, performing editions and performance practices, and musical archival studies.

A formal call for papers will be circulated in October 2009.
