About
Concise and practical, Music Research introduces students to the major print and electronic research tools available to them. This unique handbook does not aim to provide an exhaustive introduction to the subject; rather, it is highly selective and guides students to the most significant English-language research tools and resources, reference titles in major areas, and the principal sources in French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Now updated to reflect the growingemphasis on the digital humanities, this is the perfect guide for 21st century music scholars.
The text is supplemented by a comprehensive Companion Website that includes supplement links, updates to available bibliographies and readings by chapter, research tools listed by composer, and lists ofcore music journals and major professional music associations.
