Since its publication in 1938, this encyclopedia has been recognized as the outstanding single-volume book in scope, depth, and detail. It is widely considered to be the major encyclopedia of musical knowledge. In each subsequent edition over the years, existing topics were brought up-to-date and new topics were introduced. The changes in this 11th edition, both revision and extension, are contained in an addenda at the rear of the volume. This section is the chronicle of approximately 10 years, 1975-1985, the period separating the 11th edition from the previous one. Much of the material in this new Addenda section deals with topics entirely new to the Cyclopedia, such as persons, places, organizations, and compositional styles, among others. International in scope, this is the most modern reference available for all music lovers. ISBN 0-396-08412-5: $69.95 (For use only in the library).
