Historical Ornamentation Sources Catalog

Created and curated by Javier Lupiáñez, the Historical Ornamentation Sources Catalog is an open-access database that catalogs musical sources from the 17th to early 20th centuries, with a special focus on historical ornamentation and improvisation practices. The catalog is built on two key principles: providing practical, organized access to sources by linking to external catalogs and libraries and categorizing them by author, date, or typology. Additionally, it fosters a dynamic, participatory platform that encourages community involvement, enabling users to contribute new sources and continuously improve the catalog.
