Reviews"This bibliography of 19th-century American piano music, compiled by leading authorities in the field, is essentially a location tool. More than 50 collections in American libraries were consulted, and appropriate symbols for special composers and their representative compositions were given. ...it is eminently practical. Since library locations are given, the list will not soon become obsolete.... Academic libraries, with or without separate music departments, should seriously consider purchasing this important addition to the field of American music. Lower-division undergraduate and up." Choice, "The piano music of Benjamin Carr, Arthur Foote, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, and their lesser-known contemporaries will now become more accessible to us because of this bibliography This work lists compositions under five basic categories: solo; piano one-h∧ piano four-hands; two pianos; and piano and orchestra. Each category is arranged alphabetically by composer, with individual works listed under each composer. The composer's full name and dates are given, as well as the title of the work, opus number, location (in printed collections, in libraries) and/or publisher, and an occasional brief annotation. At the end, there are lists of music publishers, of library sources, and of anthologies and reprint editions, each with abbreviations. An extensive 'Composer Biography-Index,' useful in itself, serves both as source of biographical information and as a composer index to the main part of the book. Pianists wishing to expand their repertory to include 19th-century American composers will be well-served by this book." Cum Notis Variorum
