This publication presents a biography of Kliment Kvitka, based on several sources including: (1) the dictionary article by Lidiya B. Arkhimovich (1950); (2) Kvitka’s comments and clarifications of this article, preserved in the fund of the Maksim F. Rylsky Institute of Art History, Folklore and Ethnology (IIFE) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (published in 1989 by Valentina V. Kuzik); and (3) Kvitka’s draft notes to the same article, kept at the Russian National Museum of Music (RNMM). Combining information from these sources results in a more detailed biography of the scholar that contains previously unknown facts reported by Kvitka himself. This new information contributes to a more complete biography of this outstanding twentieth-century ethnomusicologist.
