The tradition of Conservatory Notebooks, always dedicated to musicology in the strictest sense, is enriched by at least one annual volume on broad-spectrum research, including interpretative, organological, and compositional aspects, with contributions from students, conservatory faculty, and external collaborators. The volumes contain, in addition to writings and essays of various kinds, interviews and information on current musical and cultural events in general.
The titles published to date are as follows:
