The Printed Music and Recorded Sound department holds the largest collection in the country of Russian printed music from the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth centuries. This very valuable part of the Russian music collection includes the first experiments in Russia’s music printing history. The first Russian music publication was issued at the publishing house of the St Petersburg Academy of Sciences in 1730. It was produced to commemorate the coronation of Empress Anna Ioannovna. This was a single sheet enclosed with Paul Tallemant’s book Un Voyage de l’оle d’amour /A Voyage to the Island of Love/. The lyrics were created by a student, Vasily Trediakovsky, a future academician of philology and celebrated poet. Surviving publications from that time reflect interest in traditional heritage, aroused in Russian society. The first song books based on rural and urban folklore appeared exactly at that time.
