Recenzii
This work is presented in two parts: a Dictionary of 3,000 abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms for musical terms, monograph and serial titles, academic degrees, record labels, music software and computer programs, organizations, performing groups, music facsimiles and manuscripts, notation conventions, and chant designations....The Reverse Dictionary follows, with full information for every term in the Dictionary, but with additional cross-reference entries for forms in other languages, title histories of journals, variant names for organizations, etc. All foreign-language entities are found in the Dictionary under the English form of the name; cross-references in all languages to the English form are contained in the Reverse Dictionary. Very useful for both the specialist and novice user.
The range of entries suggests that the author thought of every category in creating this resource....Music Abbreviations: A Reverse Dictionary is a title that both novice and experienced music students could consult. It brings together helpful music information in one easy-to-use volume. This resource is highly recommended for larger public libraries and academic libraries that support music and performing arts programmes.
Hixon has provided a convenient source of abbreviations and explanations of some foreign terms for the general public and researchers alike.
...a valuable practical reference source...useful for any library...
Written by a fine arts librarian, this reference identifies the meanings of abbreviations, acronyms, and initials for a wide range of musical terms. The first part is arranged alphabetically by abbreviation, while the second part is organized by the full form of the entry, followed by the abbreviation. Included are abbreviations for academic degrees, record labels, notation conventions, performing groups, record labels, and more. Although the focus is on classical music, there are also numerous entries representing jazz and folk music.
This dictionary is unique; there does not appear to be anything similar on the market at this time....This book would be an asset to most music libraries as a reference tool for students and librarians.
