| Summary: | "This Dictionary identifies the meanings of abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms for: musical terms; monograph and serial titles; academic degrees in music; record labels; music software and computer programs; international, national, and regional organizations; performing groups; music facsimiles and manuscripts; notation conventions; and chant designations." "Although the book focuses on "classical" music, it also includes numerous entries representing jazz and folk music. The first part of the dictionary is arranged alphabetically by abbreviation, while the second part is organized by the full form of the entry, followed by the abbreviation." "Music Abbreviations is ideal for music lovers and students who want to avoid consulting dozens of music and general reference works to cull the music-specific terms they seek."-- Back cover. |
