Sourcebook for Research in Music, Second Edition

The Sourcebook for Research in Music, in this revised and greatly
expanded second edition, is an invaluable guide to the researcher in navigating the
vast proliferation of materials in music research. The editors emphasize
English-language and recent sources, and also include essential materials in other
languages. An opening chapter of introductory materials, including a list of common
bibliographical terms with definitions, German and French bibliographical terms, and
the plan of the Library of Congress and the Dewey Decimal music classification
systems, is followed by seven bibliographical chapters, covering lists of sources as
well as collective annotations that introduce and identify specific items. A
reference tool containing varied information relating to research in music, the
Sourcebook will serve as a classroom text and as a resource for individual music
researchers, librarians, faculty members, students, performing and teaching
musicians, and musical amateurs.
