Description: "As part of then then Imperial House's Art Historic Collections, Julius von Schlosser established the Collection of Historic Musical Instruments in 1916 as an autonomous collection and exhibition venue in the Neue Hofburg. Hence, the music instruments of the collections by Archduke Ferdinand II, the Obizzi dynasty, and Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este became the initial point for a continually developing collection that attracts the greatest attention and ranks among the the most impressive and important musical instrument museums. At the centenary-symposium leading musicologists, historians, restorers, instrument makers and musicians met in Vienna. They illuminated new aspects of the institution's history, its tasks and objectives in organological research, and discussed its impact on the Early-Music-movement" -- Back cover.
