Due to the distinctive nature of music as a separate "language"
that non-musicians are often unable to read or understand, the
cataloging and classification of music materials frequently present
special challenges. In response to this often problematic
situation, this volume is designed to introduce the principles of
music classification to beginning music catalogers, as well as to
non-specialist catalogers, and those who only occasionally deal
with music materials. It will surely relieve the stress level for
general catalogers by providing practical guidelines as well as
clarifying and explaining the most commonly used classification
systems in the United States-the Dewey Decimal Classification
(DDC), the Library of Congress Classification (LCC), and the
Alpha-Numeric System for Classification of Recordings (ANSCR). Also
included is a general historical overview of music classification,
from early attempts to organize specific collections, to the
efforts of Oscar Sonneck and others to adapt fundamental principles
of classification to the distinctive characteristics of music
materials; as well as a discussion of the special needs of the
users of those materials.
