[top]Collection Overview
The collection reflects Weinmann's extensive research in the history
of Viennese music publishing and is a resource for study of publishing firms in
Vienna as well as documenting Weinmann's bibliographical research. The Music
Series includes title pages and parts of arrangements, focusing on Viennese
publishers and composers, including Georg Druschetzky, Joseph Haydn, Johann
Baptist Vanhal, Johann Josef Rösler, and Ferdinand Kauer, as well as Johann
Sebastian Bach. Included in the Writings and Speeches Series are manuscript
drafts of works related to Weinmann's bibliographies (published in the
Beiträge zur Geschichte des Alt-Weiner
Musikverlages) as well as bio-bibliographical and historical works. The
series also documents Weinmann's study of 19th century Viennese publishing
firms including Artaria and Company, Giovanni Cappi, Leopold Kozeluch, Franz
Anton Hoffmeister, Carlo and Pietro Mechetti, Tranquillo Mollo, Ignaz Sauer,
Johann Traeg, and Thaddäus Weigl. Series includes research by Weinmann's
brother, Ignaz Weinmann, on Franz Schubert.
The Research Notes Series consists of bibliographic references and
citations, information about works and plate numbers; Weinmann's contributions
to the
Répertoire international des sources
musicales; and
Wiener Zeitung references. The Series also
concerns Weinmann's work as an editor of the sixth edition of the
Chronologisch-thematisches Verzeichnis sämtlicher
Tonwerke Wolfgang Amadé Mozarts. Anthony van Hoboken, Willi Boskovsky,
Franz Giegling, Anton Fietz, and Arthur Fiedler are among primary
correspondents in the collection. Weinmann also collected letters (originals
and copies) from persons and publishers he studied, including J.P. Gotthard,
Johann Strauss, Franz Xaver Süssmayr, and Tobias Haslinger.
