Rozwój drukarstwa muzycznego u staroobrzędowców popowców w XIX i na początku XX wieku
The music printing development with Popovtsy in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of this article’s author is to describe the beginnings of the music printing with the Old Believers acknowledging priests (Popovtsy). The first attempts of printing the orthodox songbooks containing notes have been pioneering. However, there were quite a few editorial as well as printing flaws. The current author, by analyzing priest’s professor Dymitr Razumowski contribution into the whole process of songbooks printing, proves that it has been possible to organize edition only thanks to the cooperation between the editor and publisher. Further, there are explained the causes of printed songbooks rejection among the Old Believers not only in Russia but also among those who emigrated. The second part of this work is dedicated to Lasar Kalashnikov’s editorial activity carried in Kiev and afterwards in Moscow, especially his great contribution into popularization of different forms of the Old Believers’ church singing. Based on the accessible sources, it is described that Kalashnikov’s editorial successes have been only possible owing to the fact of the orthodox church authorities’ support and political favourable for the Old Believers circumstances.
