International in coverage. No indication given for earliest entry. Exclusions include non- numbered sets, single works divided because of length, and sets superseded by a later, more authoritative edition.

Four main divisions: I- Monuments: sets of music by several composers; limited number of performance editions. II- Complete Works: single composer in more than one volume. III- Monographs: series which, wholly or chiefly, issue volumes on a single subject by a single author. IV- Periodicals: general music coverage with a scholarly approach. Index includes composers and editions named in body of the book, titles of sets, societies, organizations and other institutions.
-
Sections are clear and material is grouped appropriately. Includes reprints as well as original series; Grove does not.
