Musical Estate Claudio Abbado
Project object
The musical estate of the conductor Claudio Abbado (1933-2014) was donated by the foundation named after him in Milan to the Berlin State Library - PK. As part of the project, around 2.000 music prints (conducting and study scores, working copies, piano reductions) and over 300 conducting sheets by the world-famous musician, as well as around 9.000 letters of his professional correspondence, will be catalogued and - whenever rights-free - digitised. These materials provide an insight into the workshop of the charismatic conductor, who occupies a very special place in the music history of his time and is still admired by musicians, musicologists and critics as well as music enthusiasts and amateurs.
