Abstract

The article describes the collaborative work of two outstanding musicologists of the 20th century, P. A. Lamm and B. V. Asafyev, on the scholarly edition of M. P. Mussorgsky's opera Khovanshchina (the full score was completed in 1931 but did not appear in print). The present article's task is to determine those vectors of enquiry that would result in filling an important gap in the history of the 20th century Russian musicology. Those vectors are: collection and systematization in chronological order the archival sources pertaining to their work on Khovanshchina; highlighting the similarities and differences between Lamm's and Asafyev's notions concerning editorial work; presenting of Asafyev's score of Khovanshchina as an addendum to his legacy as a composer; describing the double autograph manuscript by Lamm and Asafyev kept at RGALI as an object of research and comparing P. Lamm's - B. Asafyev's version of Khovanshchina with other editions of the opera.
