In A Style and Usage Guide to Writing About Music, Thomas Donahue
presents a collection of guidelines to help express through the
written word the special notations, terms, and concepts found in
the discipline of music. It concentrates on questions of style and
format in the interest of good formal writing within the context of
United-States English, so that writers may communicate their ideas
clearly and effectively. While compiling the guidelines, Donahue
reviewed content from many other music and general guides. He
documented the most common formats in order to assist the writer in
selecting an appropriate format for the given circumstance when
more than one may apply. The book draws on profuse
musically-oriented examples and is arranged by topics both musical
and typographic, such as the proper use and spelling of composer
names and musical concepts; the use of notes, pitches, and octave
delineations; letters and numbers employed to describe form and
harmony; when, where, and how to apply compound words and
hyphenation of terms and names; and the proper citation of musical
and audiovisual sources. The book concludes with a glossary of
typographic terms, a bibliography, and a comprehensive index,
making this a valuable resource for students, scholars, teachers,
and writers.
