Cataloguing
Records were created in AACR2, as RDA was still in its infancy, and the Music Library Association (MLA) was still working on its
Best Practices for Notated Music
.
Hybrid records (usually AACR2 records with 33Xs fields added) were accepted.Slide11
Cataloguing decisions
Decisions
Bound collections get a single bibliographic record
Try to identify composer and specific work, but if in doubt, no heading is better than the wrong one
Try to supply a date, even if it’s a guess, and include a note with source of date
Keep item-specific information to a minimum in the bibliographic record
In the absence of other information, treat printers and music-sellers as publishersSlide12

The famous dedication:
To my dear friend Haydn,
A father who had resolved to send his children out into the great world took it to be his duty to confide them to the protection and guidance of a very celebrated Man, especially when the latter by good fortune was at the same time his best Friend. Here they are then, O great Man and dearest Friend, these six children of mine. They are, it is true, the fruit of a long and laborious endeavor, yet the hope inspired in me by several Friends that it may be at least partly compensated encourages me, and I flatter myself that this offspring will serve to afford me solace one day. You, yourself, dearest friend, told me of your satisfaction with them during your last Visit to this Capital. It is this indulgence above all which urges me to commend them to you and encourages me to hope that they will not seem to you altogether unworthy of your favour. May it therefore please you to receive them kindly and to be their Father, Guide and Friend! From this moment I resign to you all my rights in them, begging you however to look indulgently upon the defects which the partiality of a Father's eye may have concealed from me, and in spite of them to continue in your generous Friendship for him who so greatly values it, in expectation of which I am, with all of my Heart, my dearest Friend, your most Sincere Friend,
