Excerpt from Catalogue of Printed Music Published Between 1487 and 1800 Now in the British Museum, Vol. 1: A-K This Catalogue contains the titles of all the printed music belonging to the British Museum to the close of the eighteenth century (december, 1800) The date chosen for the limit of the work is that generally accepted as marking the division between the earlier and the modern schools of music. It has the additional advantage of excluding the vast mass of music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a separate Catalogue of which, consisting at the present time of 343 volumes (partly transcribed and partly printed), is placed in the Reading Room. The system adopted in that Catalogue, the compilation of which was begun by the late Thomas Oliphant in the year 1841, has been adhered to in the present work in order that the entries in the two catalogues may be uniform in form and arrangement. The entries in this work are, however, no mere reprints of those in the General Catalogue of Music. Each volume or piece has been examined, and in the majority of instances recatalogued, while, in the case of rare and valuable works, the descriptions have been more fully and accurately set forth. The titles of the numerous pieces of music issued in periodicals, both British and foreign, of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, have been included in this Catalogue. The greater part of these will be found in the main body of the work, the remainder are inserted in the Supplement.
