[Die RISM-Serie B](/publications.html) (Spezialstudien zu verschiedenen Themen) ist noch stark unterrepräsentiert in unserer Datenbank. Dies ändert sich glücklicherweise in der letzten Zeit stetig. Vor allem die RISM-Serie B/II nimmt Fahrt auf.

Während die [Musikdrucke aus den Serien B/I _Recueils imprimés, XVIe-XVIIe siècles_ ](/new_at_rism/2022/02/17/200-years-print-history-rism-b1-entirely-in-rism-catalog.html) (Sammeldrucke des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts) und [A/I _(Einzeldrucke vor 1800)](/rism_online_catalog/2015/05/21/printed-music-ai-and-bi-now-in-risms-online.html) (Editionen bis 1800 mit Werken eines einzigen Komponisten) mit älteren Datenbankprogrammen oder über umfangreiche Worddokumente in die große Datenbank des RISM übertragen werden konnten, wurde der Band B/II _Recueils imprimés, XVIIIe siècle_ (München 1964) nicht systematisch in unser Erfassungsprogramm Muscat aufgenommen. Die darin genannten Musikdrucke sind alphabetisch nach dem Titel gelistet und weisen keinen eindeutigen Identifikator auf. Bisher konnte nur eine Zitierweise über die Seitenzahl angeboten werden.

Einige RISM-Mitarbeiter legen im Rahmen ihrer Bestandserfassung neue Datensätze aus dieser Publikation an, beispielsweise _Etwas für Gesang und Klavier zum Neuen Jahr 1785_ (RISM ID no. 1001222895; [RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001222895&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001222895){:blank}). Zu beachten gilt es dabei, dass viele Drucke in mehreren Serien bzw. Buchpublikationen genannt sind. Vor allem innerhalb der Serien A/I und B/II gibt es viele Dubletten. Im später publizierten A/I-Band wurde oft auf den Sammelband verwiesen. Wir haben ca. 700 doppelte Einträge über diese Verweise gefunden und arbeiten diese kontinuierlich ab.

Dies zeigt, wie dringend notwendig die Überarbeitung der Druckserien ist: wer schlägt schon gern in beispielsweise vier verschiedenen Bänden nach?

Hier einige Beispiele:

Das Pasticcio _La villanella rapita_ (RISM ID no. 990048192; [RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=990048192&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/990048192){:blank}) ist durch die unterschiedlichen Komponistennamen in der Serie A/I sowohl unter B 2560/BB 2560 (Bianchi, Francesco); M 5288/MM 5288 (Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus) und P 591/PP 591 (Paisiello, Giovanni) zu finden. In der Serie B/II auf Seite 397 zusätzlich unter dem Titel des Drucks.

Der _Dialogo della musica_ erschien zunächst 1960 als B/I 1544|22, wurde dann auch 1971 als musiktheoretisches Werk in den ersten Band von B/VI (S. 272) und schließlich 1972 unter Antonio Francesco Doni mit dem Kürzel “D 3419” als “Einzeldruck bis 1800” in der Serie A/I (Band 2, S. 434) aufgenommen. In jeder gedruckten Publikation werden unterschiedliche Informationen zum _Dialogo della muscia_ geboten. In der Datenbank lassen sich nun alle Angaben in einem Datensatz übersichtlich zusammenfassen: RISM ID no. 993104404 ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=993104404&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/993104404){:blank}). Dieser Druck weist zudem ein ganz besonderes Merkmal auf: Jedes Stimmbuch ist einer anderen Person gewidmet!

Die Zeitschrift _Musikaliskt Tidsfördrif_ umfasst im gedruckten B/II-Band lediglich eine Seite. In welcher Bibliothek welcher Jahrgang überliefert ist, ist nur schwer zu erkennen. In der Datenbank haben wir nun für jeden Jahrgang einen eigenen Datensatz angelegt und aus den Exemplarinformationen geht deutlich hervor, welche Bibliothek diesen Jahrgang besitzt und welche Nummern der Zeitschrift vorhanden sind oder fehlen, z.B. RISM ID no. 1001222464; [RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001222464&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001222464){:blank}).

In the field of musicology, Europe’s largest annual conference has for some time been the International Medieval and Renaissance Music Conference, which is held in a different location each year. The conference once again returns to Germany after last being held here twenty years ago in Jena in 2003. MedRen 2023 will be held in Munich from 24 to 28 July. [The program](https://medren2023.com/schedule-2/) is as rich as usual, so here we can call your attention to two events of particular interest to RISM.

[The program](https://medren2023.com/schedule-2/){:blank} is as rich as usual, so here we can call your attention to two events of particular interest to RISM.

On Thursday (27 July) at 9 AM a themed session entitled [“Finding musical sources before 1600: RISM, Handschriftenportal, Cantus et al.”](https://www.conftool.pro/medren2023/index.php?page=browseSessions&path=adminSessions&print=yes&doprint=yes&form_session=109&presentations=show) will explore how musical sources of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance can be searched in online databases. While for much of the repertory after 1600 the RISM database has long established itself as the go-to place to start, the MedRen community is left with a patchwork selection of diverse databases for sources before this time, often applying different cataloging standards as a reflection of the varying underlying research interests.

In this session chaired by Balázs Mikusi (RISM Editorial Center), three pairs of papers will demonstrate the problems arising from the present situation and contemplate potential improvements to better serve the needs of the research community. In the first pair, Nicole Schwindt (Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Trossingen & RISM Germany) and Nicholas Bleisch (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) will formulate diverse desiderata with respect to vernacular songs both by identifying repertories for which no appropriate research tools seem to be available, and by calling the attention to other fields where one must rely on several tools which, however, happen to offer partially contradicting information.

The second pair of papers will address two crucial problems encountered when searching plainchant databases: first, how the apparently impressive abundance of online search options tends to cover up the rather incomplete coverage of the underlying databases as well as their problematic presentation and arrangement of the data (Irene Holzer, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München), and second, how the high-tech surface of the search interfaces may mislead users to believe that the scholarly commentary is also cutting edge, so to speak, whereas it has oftentimes been slavishly copied over from age-old and indeed outdated print publications. Finally, we shall receive news about the latest developments of two important projects: Carolin Schreiber (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin) will explain the essential goals of the [Handschriftenportal](https://handschriftenportal.de/) and how upcoming new features will improve its usability specifically for music scholars, while Laurent Pugin and Andrew Hankinson (RISM Digital Center Bern) will demonstrate how [RISM Online](https://rism.online/) could offer its users relevant hits from beyond the core RISM dataset through integration with DIAMM and the Cantus Database.

The six presentations will no doubt raise numerous questions, thereby giving a kick start [to the next event](https://www.conftool.pro/medren2023/index.php?page=browseSessions&path=adminSessions&print=yes&doprint=yes&form_session=112&presentations=show) that will follow right after, at 11 AM. Chaired by Klaus Pietschmann (Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz & President of RISM), and also including Nicole Schwindt from the previous session, this round table will seek to further elaborate on the difficulties of “Finding musical sources before 1600” by involving a wider circle of experts: Thomas Schmidt (University of Manchester), Manuel Pedro Ferreira (Universidade Nova de Lisboa), Konstantin Voigt (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg), Claudia Fabian (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek München), and Debra Lacoste (University of Waterloo).

We hope that the discussions will prove fruitful, and RISM can soon expand its coverage of pre-1600 sources by joining a larger network of partners specialized in such early repertories.

[RISM's series B](/publications.html) (special studies on various topics) is still underrepresented in our database. Luckily this is has been changing recently. Series B/II especially is picking up speed.

While [printed editions from series B/I, _Recueils imprimés, XVIe-XVIIe siècles_](/new_at_rism/2022/02/17/200-years-print-history-rism-b1-entirely-in-rism-catalog.html) (printed anthologies of the 16th and 17th centuries) and [A/I, _Einzeldrucke vor 1800_](/rism_online_catalog/2015/05/21/printed-music-ai-and-bi-now-in-risms-online.html) (editions to 1800 with works by one composer) could be imported into the main RISM database from older programs or using extensive Word documents, B/II for 18th-century anthologies, _Recueils imprimés, XVIIIe siècle_ (Munich: Henle, 1964), was not systematically imported into our cataloging program, Muscat. B/II is arranged alphabetically by title and lacks clear identifying numbers. It can only be cited using a page number.

Some RISM contributors have been creating new records for editions that are indexed in B/II as part of their cataloging work, such as _Etwas für Gesang und Klavier zum Neuen Jahr 1785_ (RISM ID no. 1001222895; [RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001222895&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001222895){:blank}). One thing that is important to note is that many prints were listed in more than one of the RISM series. There are many duplicates in A/I and B/II. In A/I, which was published later, you can frequently find references to the anthologies in B/I or B/II. We have found ca. 700 duplicates this way and are in the process of merging the duplicate records.

This shows how urgent it is to revise records from our printed volumes. Who likes looking things up in four different books?

Here are some examples.

The pasticcio _La villanella rapita_ (RISM ID no. 990048192; [RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=990048192&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/990048192){:blank}) is in A/I three times, once for each composer: B 2560/BB 2560 (Bianchi, Francesco), M 5288/MM 5288 (Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus), and P 591/PP 591 (Paisiello, Giovanni). The edition is also found in series B/II on p. 397 under title of the print.

The _Dialogo della musica_ first appeared in a RISM bibliography in 1960 as B/I 1544\|22, was taken up in 1971 as a treatise in the first volume of B/VI (p. 272), and was finally listed under D 3419 as a single-composer Antonio Francesco Doni print in 1972's A/I, volume 2 (p. 434). Each catalog had different information about the _Dialogo della muscia_. The database allows everything to be clearly laid out in a single record: RISM ID no. 993104404 ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=993104404&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/993104404){:blank}). This print is also distinctive for having a different dedicatee for each partbook.

The journal _Musikaliskt Tidsfördrif_ takes up only one page in B/II. It is difficult to tell which library holds what volume. The RISM database now has a separate record for each year and the holdings information clearly states which library owns the volume and what issues are preserved or missing, for example as in the volume from 1805 (RISM ID no. 1001222464; [RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001222464&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001222464){:blank}).
