-
Contains historical and musicological vocabulary and words and phrases relating to teaching, learning, interpretation, electronics, History of Music Publishing, retailers and music research.

Foreword, Directions for the User, Abbreviations and Appendices, all in German and English. The dictionary is arranged alphabetically and in two parts (English-German, German English). Entries include no definitions, merely verbal equivalents. Two extremely useful Appendices conclude the dictionary: (1) diagrams, charts and terms for music notation, theory and instruments and their translations, including British and American terms, and (2) list of authentic and popular titles of musical works, numbered and organized alphabetically by title with a number reference to the same title in the other language. Only works with a unique name (not named by genre: symphony, sonata, etc.) are included, and the titles are not limited to English and German (Le Sacre du Printemps is found with its translation).
