GARLAND COMPOSER RESOURCE MANUALS In response to the growing need for bibliographic guidance to the vast lit erature on significant composers, Garland is publishing an extensive series of research guides. This ongoing series encompasses more than 50 compos ers; they represent Western musical tradition from the Renaissance to the present century. Each research guide offers a selective, annotated list of writings, in all European languages, about one or more composers. There are also lists of works by the composers, unless these are available elsewhere. Biographi cal sketches and guides to library resources, organization, and specialists are presented. As appropriate to the individual composer, there are maps, pho tographs or other illustrative matter, glossaries, and indexes. Contents Preface xi Abbreviations xv List of Tables xix I.
