In 1947, on the order of Khrushchev, Lviv Department of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR received a prescript to publish the academician’s works. In 1957 there was the Editorial Commission at the M. Lysenko Lviv State Con- servatory, chaired by Yaroslav Shust created with the special purpose. Lviv Depart- ment of the Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Art Studies in Kiev proposed their projects of the publication. The Kiev’s project of the publication in 6 volumes was taken as a base. In the fall of 1958, the plan of the edition changed again: it was decided during 1958–1960 to carry out a 10-volume edition of the works of Academi- cian Kolessa. However, the 10-volumes edition were never published. By the centenary of the Academician's birth in 1971, three more volumes were published: “Music Studies”, “Folkloristics Works”, prepared by Sofiya Hrytsa and “Musical Works”, edited by Mykola Kolessa.
