One of the first compilations of repertoire and literature pertaining to the viola and the viola d'amore.

-
Covers three broad categories: Literature (music) for Viola, Literature (music) for Viola d'amore, and Scholarly Writings about the Viola and the Viola d'amore. The largest section is the first, which is divided into 12 sections according to instrumentation (categories include viola solo, viola in various chamber group ensembles, viola and orchestra, viola and voice, and viola ensembles. Within the categories, works are organized alphabetically by composer/author. Also includes a list of publishers and an author/composer index.

Informative as a historical source, contains many 19th century references. Also designates by the cross symbol which pieces were written originally for viola. Organization is excellent for finding a composition written for a specific chamber ensemble.
