PREFACE
 
This  list is  based on  the one  compiled by  Lois Kuyper-Rushing  from
announcements  published  in the  Music  Cataloging  Bulletin under  the
heading   "New   Reference   Work(s)   in  the   Music   Section."   Dr.
Kuyper-Rushing's list  was made available  as part of the  Music Library
Association's  online filelist  through LISTSERV  and was  downloaded to
the Music Section's PC by June Gifford.
 
To  complete  and  update  Dr. Kuyper-Rushing's  list,  it  was  checked
against  the Catalogers'  Reference shelves  and shelflist.  Entries for
works not  listed were  added and  entries for works  not in  the CatRef
collection were  deleted. All works  were also  searched in the  LC data
base  (including where  necessary the  PREMARC file);  the entries  were
corrected according  to the  information found there,  and the  LCCN was
added to each. For  the few items not found online,  the printed card in
the  Music Shelflist  (if any)  was consulted.  No attempt  was made  to
update  older  records  to  contemporary cataloging  style;  hence  some
entries  display  ISBD punctuation  and  others  do not.  Generally  (in
accordance   with  TOSCA   policy)  choice   of  main   entry  was   not
reconsidered;  however, corporate  headings  were deleted  where it  was
obvious that the AACR 2 main entry  would be under title. (An example is
An  Alphabetical index  to Hector  Berlioz Werke,  which in  the PREMARC
file  is entered  under the  heading "Music  Library Association.")  All
remaining  headings,   personal  and   corporate,  were   changed  where
necessary to AACR 2 form.
 
The CatRef collection contains many  photocopies of thematic indexes and
lists  of composers'  works  that  were originally  issued  as parts  of
larger  publications. Wherever  possible these  have been  entered under
their own  compilers. If  such a  list has a  title of  its own  an "In"
analytic entry has  been constructed (see, for example,  the entry under
Klafsky); in  other cases the title  of the main work  has been retained
(see, for  example, the entry  under Bengtsson).  In all such  cases the
pages reproduced  in the CatRef  photocopy are indicated.  An incomplete
call  number  in  parentheses  indicates  where  these  photocopies  are
shelved in the  CatRef collection. In a few cases  whole volumes are for
convenience shelved  under class numbers  different from those  given in
the online record; in such cases  the "official" LC call number is given
first,  followed in  parentheses by  the CatRef  shelf number  (see, for
example, the entry under Hoffmeister).
 
For some works Dr. Kuyper-Rushing  noted the existence of editions later
than  the  ones in  the  CatRef  collection at  the  time  her list  was
compiled. In  most cases I  have been able  to replace these  items with
the  later editions.  In  the few  cases  where this  has  not yet  been
accomplished, Dr. Kuyper-Rushing's notations  have been retained, except
where it has been found either  unfeasible or unnecessary to replace the
editions now in the collection.
 
The main  portion of this  list is a complete  listing (it is  hoped) of
all published  works in the  CatRef collection, arranged by  main entry.
The second part,  the Composer List, which begins on  p. **, repeats the
entries  for  all  works  devoted to  individual  composers,  this  time
arranged by composer.
 
This list will  be revised as necessary,  as new works are  added to and
obsolescent  ones  removed  from   the  CatRef  Collection.  As  always,
catalogers'  suggestions  for  the  improvement of  the  collection  are
welcome.

relevant. The listing  by main entry is stored under  the file BY ENTRY.
The listing  by composer is stored  under the file BY  COMPOSER. --Ralph
