History of music printing, music typography and design are the vast field of my ongoing research. Recently I started writing a book with a working title Theory of Music Type Design which will hopefully be finished around 2025. Publishers are welcome to approach with the best of offers.

Occasionally I publish articles and videos with insights into music design. Much of such can be read on my Patreon page patreon.com/terentyev where they are available to subscribers. Some things are open to public.

For example, you may read my article about horizontal spacing of music symbols in music typesetting/engraving. It speaks about the ratios given by Elaine Gould in Behind Bars and by Ted Ross in The Art of Music Engraving and Processing, and tries to devise a more logical and probably more correct ratio. Read it at https://www.patreon.com/posts/53749921

Or you may watch a review of two songbooks hand-written by Hermann Zapf, with examples of peculiar music calligraphy — https://youtu.be/A_zPCbuy-ME

Then the unboxing videos with Terentyev Publisher’s piano music editions, compiled of series of photographs.
