Musical Works are categorized according to the genre (ballets, operas, cantatas, religious music). The Bibliography contains a listing of the composers' writings as well as the writings of other authors pertaining to their music. The General Information section is a glossary of notable people and locations pertaining to the two composers. The bibliography is organized alphabetically according to composer with the title of the work in bold-face font. Includes indexes by author, title of a work, and subject.
