N2  - "A pocket encyclopaedia rather than a dictionary, this book gives definitions of musical terms, articles on matters of musical notation and composition and on musical instruments, and the thumb-nail sketches of the lives and works of composers. Covering matters of historical interest as well as those of present-day usage, it contains over 1,500 entries, from the briefest definitions to articles of 500 words or more, illustrated by diagrams of musical instruments and by musical examples." -- Book Cover verso
