Markevitch rediscovered several important manuscripts, including Westphal and Kellner transcriptions of several Bach Suites, and published his own edition of the Suites, playing all six in recital at Carnegie Hall in New York in 1964.

He also unearthed two previously unknown pieces by Ludwig van Beethoven: the Sonata for Violoncello and Piano, Opus 64, and the Kreutzer Sonata, transcribed for cello by Czerny.

He contributed to editions of pieces by Mussorgsky, De Falla, Stravinsky, and Shostakovitch and wrote Cello Story, a book on the history and repertoire of the cello.

Through his career, he compiled an extensive and now cataloged library of over 3,000 cello scores.
