| Sumario: | The article is the first part of the results of a detailed study of musical varsaviana from the legacy of singer Halina Mickiewiczówna (1923--2001). It includes historical and bibliological considerations, such as establishing the dating of the prints and informations about their makers -- publishers and printers, as well as musicological considerations, such as a discussion of the publishing repertoire and its reception in the activities of Warsaw publishers. The aim of the article is first and foremost to prove that the singer's collection represents a representative fragment of Warsaw's sheet music production of the pre-war, interwar and post-war periods, and its content documents the popularity at these times of such a musical genre as the solo song, as well as operatic excerpts favored by the public and the Maestra herself. The article concludes with a catalog of the musicals discussed.
