Looking back on 2024

Thursday, January 23, 2025

As in past years, we are using the beginning of a new year to take stock of the previous year and share what was most popular with our website readers. These are the year’s blog posts that were read the most often, according to our website statistics:
 
 

1. The Musical Public Domain in 2024: The 2025 version is coming soon!

2. The New Köchel Catalog

3. Statement on Current Media Reports Concerning the Financial Perspectives of RISM after 2025

4. Musical Anniversaries in 2024: Be sure to see the 2025 version here.

5. Vicente Lusitano in RISM

6. A new thematic catalogue of the musical works of Johann Georg Pisendel (PW) is now available by Fabrizio Ammetto

7. The Project “RePIM – Repertorio della Poesia Italiana in Musica, 1500-1700” by Giovanna Casali

8. Manuscript found in New York by Artur Szklener

9. A Visit to the André Archive in Offenbach

10. Digitised music manuscripts made available online from the British Library

Other stories were still widely read despite being somewhat older, including earlier reports on public domain music (see 2023), Dominik Rahmer’s post on Ferdinand David’s Concertino op. 4, Scott Joplin’s “The Cascades” and the St. Louis World’s Fair, and music for Archangel Michael.

Some of our social media highlights were:

• A new database for music iconography from the Grupo Complutense de Iconografía Musical
• The Felix Otto Dessoff Collection at the University of Frankfurt
• The opera “Berenice” by Domenico Natale Sarri
• CIMCIM International directory of musical instrument collections
• The musical game Kaleidakustikon (image)

We hope that your 2025 is already off to a great start. If you have news of your own that would be of interest to the RISM community, please do share it with us.
