Beginning with a Biographical note, the author then gives detailed descriptions of all of de Falla's published works, in order by date of composition, up to the date of this publication. Each citation includes details regarding the instrumental medium, libretti authors, dates of composition, orchestration, and characters where applicable, first performance information, publisher information, and details in reference to the duration in time of each work. Also included are detailed paragraphs describing each work, applicable stories related to or told in the work, histories of the composition, and other significant information relevant to the individual work. The author then gives an appendix of the transcriptions and arrangements done by de Falla. These are short citations including only the title, and the name of the publisher(s). This is followed by a detailed description of de Falla's unpublished works organized by genre. These citations include the date of composition, first performance dates (where applicable), and any other details the author chose to include regarding the work. Two short indexes are also included: Index of titles, and Index of names, done alphabetically.
