Annotating Music
Channel: British Library
Date: 2022-10-12

Dr Fabio Morabito explores the British Library’s extensive music collection to discover evidence of how musicians and collectors of previous generations used and annotated music. 

Annotations on musical scores can shed light on how music was collected, how it was performed and how people interacted with each other while handling it. The film draws on a range of annotated printed scores and musical manuscripts.
