Library of the Peter Cornelius Conservatory
The Peter Cornelius Conservatory maintains its own specialized music library. Access is available to teachers, pupils, and students of the PCK and the College of Music at Johannes Gutenberg University.
The PCK library also complements the collection of the music library at the Anna Seghers Public Library. Interested parties are welcome to visit after registering in advance.
The PCK library's collection focuses on: music education, early music education, instrumental pedagogy, instrumentology, music theory, and music history, as well as related teaching materials and sheet music. Special archive: works by contemporary composers from Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, and Hesse.
The orchestral materials are primarily intended for the orchestras and ensembles of the PCK.
Online research
The holdings of the PCK Library can be searched in the online catalog of the state capital of Mainz. The available journals and series are also listed here.
The extensive old collection of sheet music and orchestral materials can only be searched in its entirety during the library's opening hours using the card catalogs (alphabetical and systematic catalog). The same applies to the sound recordings.
