AB The article deals with the letters of Václav Jan Křtitel Tomášek from the Morawetz Collection, housed in the National Museum - Czech Museum of Music. In a critical edition, it publishes and comments on the letters Tomášek addressed to the publishers Ambrosius Kühnel, Carl Friedrich Peters, and Immanuel Guttentag, as well as to the poet and editor Rudolph Hirsch, Tomášek's pupil Alexander Dreyschock and an unnamed (probably Amelia Illaire to Berlin). The edition also includes an appraisal of the compositions of Josef Zvonař and Tomášek's request for an increase in his annual rent, addressed to Count George Franz August Buquoy in 1829. For the first time, a letter by Johann Wolfgang Goethe, the original of which is considered lost by the current edition of Goethe's correspondence, is published here according to the original.
