- Abstract
Goal. The text that follows is a presentation of the research results within the scientific project "The record industry in Croatia from 1927 to the end of the 1950s" (hereinafter DISKOGRAF), financed by the Croatian Science Foundation. Based on the extensive online discography created for the needs of the project, an analysis of the aspects of the chain of the sound recording industry with other levers of musical life will be presented, as well as their representation in domestic sheet music publishing. Approach/Methodology. Since the documentation of sheet music and gramophone record publishing companies, as well as a complete bibliography of printed sheet music editions or discography from a given period do not exist, the information based on the currently available research data is being compared. The pictorial examples will point to printed sheet music as a source of information on record production and the musical life of the period, based on information on cooperative trade, copyright holders, sheet music, artwork, and advertising messages printed on publications. Originality/value. The editions of sound recordings from the project period have been preserved in a small number of copies, on physically endangered media, in the possession of the state institutions (archives, libraries, and museums), and private collectors. The sheet music that accompanied them and from which they were sung and played in civic salons, cafes, cinemas, and dance halls, in the circumstances after the Second World War had lost their value and nowadays have become a real rarity. The value of researching both media as witnesses of a historical period, from a historical, sociological, musical, and artistic point of view is undoubted, and they should be included in the priorities for digitization. Their compatibility would enable chaining in a parallel presentation of sound and sheet music, which would certainly contribute to the attractiveness of digital products to a wider audience.
