Here are kept some 170 personal archives and collections of Armenian musicians and musicologists, totaling 130,000 materials (manuscripts, advertise- ments, programs, instruments, works of fine art, etc.). Here the archives of Tchouhadjyan, Komitas, Yekmalyan, Spendiaryan, R. Melikyan, Grigor Suni (pronounces Siounee) and other great fig- ures in Armenian music have found a permanent resting place. Based on these archives, monographs, speeches, Wand scholarly articles have and are being written, and variegated collections of the works of Armenian musicians are being prepared. For instance, the academic volumes of the works of the great Komitas have and are being published largely on the basis of archival materials kept in the Museum. Let us add also that in the last sev- eral years the Museum's publishing house has made available to readers collections of materials on the lives and careers of Komitas' prize students, Armenak Shahmouradyan and Vahan Ter-Arakelyan, as well as two volumes containing the songs of the famous Armenian composer, Nikol Galanteryan, a project which will be continued in the near future. Now in this modest volume we present to our reading public another famous figure in Armenian music, Grigor Mirzaian Suni's Armenian Music, an unpublished work. This valuable study, rep- resenting a brief sketch of centuries-old Armenian music, we have found suitable to publish in English translation as well, in order to give non-Armenian readers a certain understanding into that rich world of Armenian music. The book has been prepared for publication with some editor- ial intrusion. Since the author, for unknown reasons, did not sub- ject it to a final proofreading. The text has been notated, certain Generated on 2015-02-24 06:04 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015070111516 Open Access / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#oa orthographic and punctuation corrections and some minor abridgements have been made, and a scholarly introduction has been added. Grigor Suni's extensive autobiography has been included as an addendum to the book. A copy of the original auto- biography was given to the composer's family by Mr. Ferdinand Kaimakamian. The publication of the book was mainly sponsored by Grigor Suni's grandson, Prof. Ronald Suny and his wife, pianist Armena Marderosian, to whom we express our deepest gratitude. Our grat- U' itude extends also to all those who, in this or that manner, partic- T ipated in the publication and printing of this valuable work. 21 It, u 41 fa 11 41 gI Generated on 2015-02-24 06:04 GMT / http://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015070111516 Open Access / http://www.hathitrust.org/access_use#oa , uf"R vgu1 XIX ruiph utlqjpig itlbG puwGhpnpr. fiuplntptuatjlt uljbiqpi pG1tui diuiltuQ wwfiuttnqup fitui wupilhuuib tqtuin- dntalkGdh Q~tuituwnptthg npugliu pti~nt~iG rtU1PW21pp- 2wQG, tippi tuggqqw G 12~w1ntlp1, fiwitn~tqliu ugpn Aiurn Gaq thptd~inntralniG thp1wptuuih, fiwuplpurp lnniralniQ~g fibium tuuutuptiq phiphg uu wqtunpbntrwQu, 4tunupnrlt4tuGw tup- ijlutnhi, pGQtuqrtuumnrltuG, hpwd21mtuq11unntluG pGtuquitiur- Gu~p, thnpwriiu, 4.
