Cartas a ERESBIL

Abstract

The celebration of 25th anniversary of the creation of ERESBIL - the Basque Composers Archive, allows for a review of 25 years of epistolary relationships that encompass a wide range of topics and names for the research on the musical history of the Basque Country. A selection has been made of the correspondence received in Eresbil and which in one way or another is a summary on the people that have contributed to clarify quite a few queries on pieces of music and on musicians themselves. The letters selected have been sorted out by putting first those received from 67 living composers and their relatives; followed by correspondence that refers to musical documentation; correspondence with archivists, with musicologists, with critics, with other researchers, with performers, and followed finally by correspondence of a varied nature.
