Musical Scores from the National Library of the Czech Republic

In 2025, Bedřich Smetana’s autograph and a collection of Antonín Dvořák’s autographs, including complete scores as well as sketches and drafts, were digitized from the manuscript collection of the Music Department of the National Library of the Czech Republic. Some of these materials come from the estate of conductor Václav Talich.
