Reviews

Aaron Copland has for decades been among the most prominent and highly regarded of American composers. This comprehensive bibliography (the first of its kind) is therefore of considerable interest. It includes a very brief biography, a chronological list of works and first performances, a discography of 376 items, an annotated bibliography by and about Copland of 1,192 items, a couple of appendixes (alphabetical and classified lists of compositions), and an extended index. ...this tool will no doubt become the standard guide to the Copland literature for the foreseeable future. ...it is good to have so many citations derived from a wide variety of sources (periodicals, newspapers, books, anthologies of essays, and so forth) all in one convenient location.-Choice
