Abstract
The Main Library of Stanisław Moniuszko Academy of Music in Gdansk gathers and stores many collections submitted by different people, especially by the pedagogues of the Academy. One of them is a collection of notes used in artistic work and maybe in vocal teaching by the outstanding Polish singer Kazimierz Czekotowski. The article describes the contents of the collection, particularly the items concerning composers and publishers. The most interesting are hand-written dedications, because, in many cases, it’s the only one document confirming artistic contacts between a composer and a performer. It also enables determining the date of composing and the first performance of the work or – indirectly – help identify publication dates. Secondly, it is drawn up a list of publishers present in these collection, which is a contribution to the characteristics of the situation of the Polish music publishing market... (time limits due to publication dates of the items from the Czekotowski collection).
