A musical translation dictionary for 1300 musical terms across 13 languages.

Lists 1300 common musical terms that may be encountered in musical scores or musical research and the translation of each into 13 different languages. Terms were compiled by collecting all English word entries from several of the most popular music dictionaries and from musical scores. In most instances, only the adjective, infinitive, and noun forms are included as entries; variants with suffixes, prefixes, plurals, similar spellings are not included.
-
Entries arranged alphabetically according to the English spelling. They are given a number from one to 1300. Each entry is arranged in block form, with the English on top (###AAA) and all others below with the number and three-letter language code beside it (i.e., ###RUS). Includes an index of all words in all languages and a Cyrillic index.
-
Easy to use and provides one with the equivalent of 91 different translation dictionaries.

Possibilities for confusion may exist with only one form of the word being given.
