Selected LCRIs that apply to music cataloging rules in AACR2
(formerly published separately as Music Cataloging Decisions)
1.0. General Rules.
LCRI 1.0 gives guidance in determining when a new manifestation of an item is to be
considered a new edition, and enumerates those areas of the bibliographic description in
which differences signal an edition rather than a copy. In addition, for printed music and
sound recordings, consider that different editions exist whenever two items have different publisher's or plate numbers.
1.5. Physical Description Area.
1.5E. Accompanying material.
1.5E1.
Normally consider options (c) and (d) to be mutually exclusive with regard to a specific
item of accompanying material. If the need is felt to give more information about
accompanying material than can be given under option (d) (including the "Optional addition”), describe the material in a note and omit it from the physical description area. (In the second sentence of 6.7B11, the phrases "neither mentioned in the physical description area nor given a separate description" modify "accompanying material," not "details.")
See also MCD 6.7B11.
6.0. General Rules.
6.0B. Sources of Information
6.0B1.
For compact discs and cassettes, consider information which can be read through the closed container (including information on the front cover of a booklet inserted in the container) to be on the container.
For sound recordings containing two works of the same type by one composer without a
collective title on the label(s), do not consider as a collective title a title on the
container or accompanying material that is made up of the name of the type plus one or more of the following identifying elements for the two works: serial number, opus number, thematic index number, key.
Do not transcribe as collective title:
On container: Piano concertos no. 25, K. 503, no. 26, K. 537
On container: Sonatas no. 4, op. 7, and no. 11, op. 22
On container: Symphonies nos. 88
and 104 (
Transcribe as collective title:
On container: The violin concertos / Serge Prokofiev
On container: Les deux sonates pour violoncelle et piano
On container: Ballets / Igor Stravinsky
(Contains Apollo and Orpheus)
6.1. Title and Statement of Responsibility Area.
6.1F. Statements of responsibility
6.1F3.
For recordings of those types of music for which it is possible for performers' names to
appear in the statement of responsibility (cf. 6.1F1), use bracketed words or phrases under this rule only when it is not clear from other parts of the description (e.g., the performer note, the contents note, etc.) whether the names in the statement of responsibility are those of composers, performers, or composers-performers.
6.5. Physical Description Area.
6.5B. Extent of Item (including specific material designation
6.5B1.
For multipart items, give only the number of physical units (e.g., discs) in the physical
description area. If the number of containers or discographic units (often called "volumes") differs from the number of physical units, give this information in notes (cf. MCD 6.7B10, MCD 6.7B18).
For multipart items that are not yet complete, give in the physical description area the
cumulative number of physical units held in angle brackets (i.e., follow DCM B7.2.2b 4) in all cases). If the holdings are not clear from the contents note (e.g., when there is no
contents note), give them in a separate note (cf. 6.7B20, LCRI 1.7B20).
6.5B2.
Apply the "Interpretation" in LCRI 6.5B2 and give the total duration in the physical
description area if the recording contains only one work (as defined in Appendix D, "Musical work" (1)), regardless of the number of physical units (e.g., discs) in the recording. State the duration in the form illustrated by the examples in 1.5B4. Give a duration equal to or greater than one hour as hours and minutes or as minutes (in either case with seconds if appropriate), depending on how it is stated in the item being cataloged.
For sound recordings containing more than one work, apply LCRI 6.7B10 and MCD 6.7B10.
6.5C. Other physical rules
6.5C3. Playing speed.
For tape cassettes, give the playing speed only if it is stated on the item.
6.5C7. Number of sound channels.
When the number of sound channels is not stated explicitly, do not record any term.
6.5C8. Optional addition. Recording and reproduction characteristics.
Apply this option whenever the information would be needed for selecting playback equipment to get the full audio effect of the recording; e.g., record the quadraphonic process in the physical description area when special equipment is required to listen to the recording in quad., even if it can be listened to in stereo. without the special equipment.
6.7. Note Area.
6.7B. Notes
6.7B10. Physical description.
Do not make the note "Analog recording" or "Digital recording."
DURATIONS
Generally do not give more than six statements of duration in the note area. If durations of more than six works in a collection are available from the item, generally do not give any durations in the note area. More than six durations may be given, however, if in the
cataloger's judgment they are especially important.
In a statement of duration in the note area, separate the digits representing hours,
minutes, and seconds by colons. If a duration is expressed in seconds only, precede it by a colon.
500 ## $a Duration: 45:00.
500 ## $a Duration: 1:25:00; :48; 15:10.
500 ## $a Duration: ca. 1:15:00.
500 ## $a Duration: ca. 27:00; ca. 17:00.
For instructions on the use of "ca." preceding durations in the note area, see LCRI
6.7B10.
CONTAINERS
Give a note on the presence of container(s) only when the number of containers is not clear from the rest of the description.
See also MCD 6.5B2, MCD 6.5B1.
6.7B11. Accompanying material.
The phrases "neither mentioned in the physical description area nor given a separate
description" modify "accompanying material," not "details." For further information see MCD 1.5E1.
Make notes on accompanying program notes, etc., only if they are important, either because of their content or because they are physically separable. Do not, however, make a note for physically separable materials accompanying a compact disc unless their content is important.
6.7B18. Contents.
Transcribe titles in a contents note from the source in the item being cataloged that
provides the best identification. Use judgment in deciding what additional information to
transcribe, taking into account the type of music and the length, complexity, and
readability of the resulting note.
If the musical compositions in an item are all in the same musical form, and that form is
named in the title proper of the item, do not repeat the form in the contents note (cf. 5.7
B18).
Opus numbers or thematic index numbers may be added to the titles of individual musical
compositions contained in an item if they are necessary to identify the compositions named (cf. 5.7B18, MCD 5.7B18).

If two or more titles with statements of responsibility are being transcribed for one part
of a multipart item, apply the punctuation conventions from 1.1G3 so that titles by the same person, body, etc., are separated by a space-semicolon-space and titles by different
persons, bodies, etc., are separated by a period-space. If no statements of responsibility
are being transcribed, separate the titles with a space-semicolon-space in all cases.

In a bibliographic record for an item containing a single musical work or excerpts from a
single musical work, use judgment in deciding whether to list the movements or other
component parts of the work, as instructed in MCD 5.7B18.
For the forms of durations recorded in a formal contents note, see MCD 6.7B10.

For multipart items, when the number of discographic units (often called "volumes" by
publishers) differs from the number of physical units (e.g., discs) or containers, include
when necessary the number of physical units or containers in the contents note.

6.7B19. Publishers' numbers.
When a publisher's number appears in variant forms on a sound recording, its container,
accompanying material, etc., transcribe only the form on the recording itself (e.g., the
labels of a disc).
On disc: S-37337
On container: DS 37337
028 32 $a S-37337 ...
When an item consists of two or more individual units (e.g., discs), do not transcribe
numbers which represent in a truncated form the numbers of the individual units.

When two or more distinct publisher's numbers appear on a sound recording, its container, accompanying material, etc., transcribe each in a separate note. Follow each number other than the first by an indication of its location, if appropriate.
500 ## $a Pape: FSM 43721.
500 ## $a Pape: POPR 790051 (on container).
If, however, each unit (e.g., disc) in a set bears an individual number but the item also
bears a number applying to the set as a whole, follow the instructions in LCRI 6.7B19.
Apply the above principles also when a disc (or discs) bears only matrix numbers but a
different or variant number appears on the container.
Matrix numbers on disc:
S10-17429
S10-17430
On container:
S10 17429 008 [a "set" number]
500 ## $a MelodiÂ: S10 17429 008 (S10-17429 (matrix)--S10-17430 (matrix)).

500 ## $a MelodiÂ: S10-06513 (matrix)--S10-06514 (matrix).
21.4. Works for Which a Single Person or Corporate Body is Responsible.
21.4C. Works erroneously or fictitiously attributed to a person or corporate body.
21.4C1.
When a musical work has been erroneously or fictitiously attributed to a composer,
optionally make, instead of the added entry prescribed by 21.4C1, a name-title reference
from the heading for the attributed composer and the uniform title which the work would have if it were in fact by the attributed composer to the heading for the actual composer and the actual uniform title, or to the title if the actual composer is unknown (see MCD 26.4B).
Apply this option when doing so would improve access to the work, e.g., because an added entry under the heading for the attributed composer alone would be lost in that composer's file, or because the work is represented only by a secondary entry in a bibliographic record.
Transcription: Violin-Konzert Nr. 3 B-Dur / Joseph Haydn
(The work was actually composed by Christian Cannabich)
Main entry under the heading for the work by Cannabich; reference (name-uniform title) from the heading for the work attributed to Haydn
See also MCD 26.4B.
21.18. General Rule (Musical Works)
21.18C. Adaptations.
For a musical work adapted by its original composer, see MCD Appendix D "Musical work."

For uniform titles, subject headings, and classification for works with added
accompaniments, etc., see MCD 25.35C.
21.23. Sound Recordings.
21.23C. Principal Performer
In determining whether the name of a performing group includes a personal name that appears in conjunction with it (LCRI 21.23D, first paragraph), apply MCD 24.1A.
POPULAR MUSIC FOLIOS
Apply the instructions for for popular music folios in LCRI 21.23C only when a sound
recording exists which has essentially the same title and content as the printed folio being
cataloged.
21.28. Sound Recordings.
21.28A. Scope.
CADENZAS:
Treat cadenzas as related works under this rule whether they are composed by the composer of the works into which they are to be interpolated or by someone else.

source of information or in the foreword or other prefatory matter of the publication.
21.29. General Rule (Added Entries)
21.29D.
In determining whether the name of a performing group includes a personal name that appears in conjunction with it (LCRI 21.29D, first paragraph), apply MCD 24.1A.
21.30. Specific Rules (Added Entries)
21.30F. Other related persons or bodies.
Make an added entry for any person mentioned in the title proper or other title information of a bibliographic record for a musical work or collection. Exception: Do not make an added entry if the person's relationship to the item is purely a subject relationship.

240 10 $a Präludium und Fuge über den Namen BACH
700 1# $a Bach, Johann Sebastian, $d 1685-1750.
ELECTRONIC OR COMPUTER MUSIC STUDIOS:
For recordings of electronic or computer music, make an added entry for the studio or
studios where the music was realized, when the item being cataloged identifies the studio or studios. If more than three studios were involved, however, make no such added entries.
Many studios are (or can be assumed to be) corporate bodies and can be established as such, if not already established. For studios which are not corporate bodies and are not already established, follow the procedures outlined in Subject cataloging manual H 405, "Procedures for Group Two headings. Heading requested by descriptive cataloger for use as descriptive access point." For further guidance see DCM Z11.3.
See also MCD 21.30H.
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS FOUNDATIONS AND FUNDS:
If the work being cataloged was commissioned by a Library of Congress foundation or fund (e.g., Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation, McKim Fund), make an added entry under the corporate heading for the foundation or fund. Justify the added entry by naming the foundation or fund in a note (see 21.29F).
21.30G. Related works.
When an instrumental work or collection is based on, inspired by, etc., one or two
individual literary works, make a simple added entry or entries (cf. LCRI 21.30M) for the
literary work or works. (For vocal works based on literary works, see 21.19A.)

For electronic or computer music studios, see MCD 21.30F.
21.30J. Titles.
Follow the instructions in LCRI 21.30J in making title added entries for music publications and music sound recordings, disregarding the restriction in rule 21.30J1 (d). Exception: For works entered under the heading for a composer, do not make an added entry under a title that is not sufficiently distinctive by itself to be a useful access point (e.g., Piano music; Symphony no. 3 in F major).
For collections without a collective title, follow the instructions in the section "Items
Without Collective Title" in LCRI 21.30J, subject to the exception above.

When a title that is to be traced contains a number, follow the instructions for alternate
forms containing numbers in LCRI 21.30J. In addition, when such a title begins with a
cardinal number that is not an integral part of the title, make an added entry under the
title with the number omitted.

21.30L. Series.
The Library of Congress classifies collected works of composers (Gesamtausgaben) as
collected sets in M3. Many such publications are divided into subseries by medium of
performance or genre, and individual volumes are numbered only within each subseries.
In such cases LCRI 21.30L requires that each subseries be established separately (cf. the "Progress in nuclear energy" example in LCRI 21.30L). This would preclude making a collected set record for the set as a whole and would therefore require classifying each subseries according to its content (Piano music in M22, Operas in M1500, etc.). To avoid this the Music Section has been given permission to deviate from LCRI 21.30L for access points for Gesamtausgaben. For Gesamtausgaben that are issued in numbered (or alphabetically designated) subseries, with individual volumes numbered only within the subseries, make only one series authority record and only one collected-set bibliographic record--for the set as a whole. In bibliographic records for analyzed volumes (cf. MCD 13.3), transcribe series statements as instructed in the LCRI, but in series added entries omit the subseries title and consider the numerical designation of the subseries to be part of the series numbering. Include an explanatory note in the series authority record.
Bibliographic record:
490 1# $a Neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke. Serie II, Messen, Passionen, oratorische Werke / Jhann Sebastian Bach ; $v Bd. 8
800 1# $a Bach, Johann Sebastian, $d 1685-1750. $t Works. $f 1954 ; $v Ser. 2, Bd. 8.

series tracing, but include the number of the "Serie" in the series numbering.
In contents notes in collected-set records for Gesamtausgaben treated in this way, list only the numerical designations and the titles of the subseries, not the numbers and titles of individual volumes.
505 1# $a Contents: Ser. 1. Kantaten -- Ser. 2. Messen, Passionen, oratorische Werke
24.1. General Rule.
24.1A.
When the name of an individual performer appears in conjunction with the name of a
performing group, ordinarily do not consider the person's name to be part of the name of the group, in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

Corporate heading: New South (Musical group)
On item: Artie Shaw and his orchestra
No corporate heading (body is unnamed; cf. 21.1B1)
See also MCD 21.23D, MCD 21.29D.
25.8-25.11. Collective Titles.
When necessary (e.g., to keep series added entries for an analyzable multipart item together and separate them from other collections with the same uniform title), add a qualifier according to the fourth and fifth paragraphs of LCRI 25.8-25.11 to the uniform title "Selections" when applied to collections of musical works under rule 25.34B.
490 1 $a Edition John Cage
800 1 $a Cage, John. $t Selections (Wergo)
25.25. General Rule.
When the uniform title assigned to a particular manifestation of a musical work is identical (except for the deletion of an initial article) to the title proper of the item, do not
include the uniform title in the bibliographic record for the item, even though a name
authority record must be generated in order to trace references to the uniform title, unless
one or more of the following exceptions applies.
1) If the uniform title contains any of the elements prescribed as additions in 25.30-25.
32 and 25.35, include the uniform title in the bibliographic record.
2) If the uniform title is for one or more parts of a musical work (25.32), include it in
the bibliographic record.
3) If the uniform title is a collective one (25.34), include it in the bibliographic
record.
4) If a uniform title is required for a work entered under title and a qualifier must be
added to the uniform title to distinguish the work from others with the same title, include
the uniform title in the bibliographic records for all manifestations of the work (LCRI 25.
5B, "Monographs that Conflict").
Note that an alternative title is part of the title proper (1.1B1). Therefore when the title
proper contains an alternative title, the uniform title, which will not include the
alternative title (MCD 25.27), will be different from the title proper and must be included
in the bibliographic record.
Note also that for collections without a collective title the title proper is the first
title in the title and statement of responsibility area, inclusive of part titles and
alternative titles but exclusive of parallel titles and other title information (cf. 1.1C2).
For collections with a collective title, apply the above provisions to the first title
transcribed in the title and statement of responsibility area (inclusive of part titles and
alternative titles but exclusive of parallel titles and other title information).
25.25A. Musical Work
Footnote 9. (Cf. MCD 25.35C, "Revisions by the Original Composer")
If a composer changes the title and/or assigns a new opus number for his revised,
transcribed, recomposed, reordered, altered, arranged, or adapted version of an earlier
work, treat this new version as another work, not as a part of, or as an arrangement of, the
earlier work.

If the new version’s title has not been changed and identifying elements (such as opus
number) unique to the new version are lacking, yet the revision and/or addition of new
material by the composer is extensive, treat the new version as another work.

If the revised version or edition of a composer’s work retains the same title and opus
number as the original version, and the revision is one of different instrumentation within
the same broad medium (e.g., orchestra, instrumental ensemble, band) rather than extensive overall revision and the introduction of new material, use the same uniform title for the original and revised versions.

25.27. Selection of Title.
Although according to 1.1B1 an alternative title is part of the title proper of an item, for
uniform title purposes consider the main title and the alternative title to be two separate
titles of a work, i.e., two members of the universe of titles from which one is selected as
the basis of the uniform title (cf. 25.2A and LCRI 25.3B).

See also MCD 25.25, MCD 25.28.
25.27A. General rule.
If the title of the first edition of a work is not known to be different in wording or
language from the composer's original title, use the first edition title as the basis for
the uniform title unless a later title in the same language is better known.

25.27A1.
Footnote 10
When a composer uses a word which is normally the name of a type of composition as the title of a work which is definitely not a work of the type designated by the word, do not consider the title to be the name of a type of composition.

Do not consider such titles as "Double concerto," "Tripelkonzert," etc., to be names of
types of compositions.
25.27D. Titles including the name of a type of composition.
Note that 25.27D does not apply if a work is cited as one of a numbered sequence of
compositions of a particular type but the title selected according to 25.27A-25.27C does not include the name of the type.
100 1# $a Kelterborn, Rudolf, $d 1831-

The word "cited" in 25.27D1 means that the work in question must be explicitly identified as one of a numbered sequence of compositions in at least one reference source or manifestation.
25.28. Isolation of Initial Title Element .
For alternative titles, see MCD 25.27.
For pre-twentieth century works, normally consider phrases such as "a due," "a cinque," etc., to be statements of medium of performance and not part of the title as defined in this
rule.
For pre-twentieth century works with titles such as Duo concertant, Quartetto concertante, etc. (but not titles naming a form, such as Sinfonia concertante (cf. rule 25.29A), Rondeau concertant, etc.), consider the word "concertant" or its equivalent to be an adjective or epithet not part of the original title of the work, and omit it from the uniform title.

25.30. Additions to Initial Title Elements Consisting of the Name(s) of One or More Type(s) of Composition
Do not apply this rule to titles consisting of two words each of which alone would be the
name of a type of composition, when the combination of the two words produces a distinctive title.
240 10 $a Humoreske-bagateller
not
240 10 $a Humoreske-bagateller, $m piano, $n op. 11
Note, however, that "trio sonata" (cf. 25.29C1) and "chorale prelude" are each the name of one type of composition.
25.30B. Medium of performance.
25.30B1. General rule.
25.30B1(a)
Although section a) of 25.30B1 seems to prohibit the use of statements of medium of
performance in uniform titles whose initial title element (as formulated under 25.27-25.29) is "Mass(es)" or "Requiem(s)," add the medium of performance to such uniform titles when no other information is available to distinguish between two or more works by the same composer.

For the title Melody or Melodies and its cognates in other languages, and for commonly used liturgical titles such as Requiem, Te Deum, Salve Regina, Dixit Dominus, etc., see LCRI 25.29A.
25.30B3. Standard Combinations of Instruments
Use a standard combination from the list in 25.30B3 only in the singular, and only if no
other instruments, standard combinations, groups of instruments (other than an accompanying ensemble), or voices are named in the statement of medium of performance. Use it to designate the solo group in a work for solo instruments and accompanying ensemble (25.30B7) or the accompanying ensemble in a work with the initial title element Songs, Lieder, etc. (25.30B10), provided that the above condition is met.

25.30B4. Individual instruments.
The list of terms for keyboard instruments in this rule is illustrative, not restrictive.
Other terms may be used as necessary.
clavichord, 3 hands
harpsichords (3)
player-piano
25.30B5. Groups of instruments.
Use "winds" in uniform titles for chamber music combinations only when it is either not
possible (e.g., because of the three-element limitation in 25.30B1) or not more informative to use "woodwinds" or "brasses" together with the names of individual instruments.
Specifically:
1) For works for two different woodwind instruments and two different brass instruments, state the medium of performance simply as "winds." Do not list the woodwind instruments individually and group the brass instruments (e.g., "flute, oboe, brasses") or group the woodwind instruments and list the brass instruments individually (e.g., "woodwinds, trumpets (2), horn"), since the choice of which to list and which to group is arbitrary; do not use "woodwinds, brasses," since this
would convey no additional information.
2) For works for two different woodwind instruments and three or more different brass instruments or for two different brass instruments and three or more different woodwind instruments, list the two and group the others.
240 10 $a Serenade, $m woodwinds, horn, trombone ...
240 10 $a Suite, $m flutes (2), oboe, brasses ...
3) For works for two or more different woodwind instruments, two or more different brass instruments, and one other instrument or group of instruments, use "winds," not "woodwinds, brasses."
240 10 $a Suite, $m piano, winds
(For piano,
flute, oboe, trumpet, and trombone)
Do not use the phrases "string ensemble," "wind ensemble," etc., under this rule. For groups of four or more different instruments from a single family, use "strings," "winds," etc., as in the first example in the rule.
25.30B7. Solo instrument(s) and accompanying ensemble.
The phrase "jazz ensemble" may be used, when appropriate, for either the accompanying
ensemble or the group of solo instruments.
240 10 $a Concertos, $m violin, jazz ensemble ...
240 10 $a Concertos, $m jazz ensemble, orchestra ...
25.30B10. Accompaniment for songs, Lieder, etc.
Apply this rule to French works for solo voice with the title Mélodie or Mélodies (cf. LCRI 25.29A).
25.30C. Numeric identifying elements.
25.30C2. Serial numbers.
When a serial number to be used in a uniform title is accompanied in the source on which the uniform title is based by a term such as "number," "book," "collection," etc., apply the
following:
1) If the term is the English word "number" or its abbreviation, or an equivalent word or
abbreviation in another language, precede the number in the uniform title by the English
abbreviation "no."
2) If the term is a non-English term not meaning "number" and the initial title element is
in English because of the application of 25.29A1, substitute the English equivalent of the
term.
3) In all other cases give the term as it appears in the source on which the uniform title
is based.
In cases (2) and (3) above do not abbreviate the term unless it is abbreviated in the
source, even if it is one for which an abbreviation is given in Appendix B.
If no term appears with the number in the source on which the uniform title is based, give
the number in the uniform title as a cardinal number and precede it by the English
abbreviation "no."
Use arabic numerals; express the conventional English form of an ordinal numeral (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) or the conventional form of a non-English ordinal numeral (1., 2., 3., etc.)
according to the context.
If different works in a consecutively numbered series have different forms of numerical
designation in the sources on which their uniform titles are based, select one of the forms
for use in the uniform titles of all the works.
240 10 $a Sonatas, $m pianos (2), $n no. 1
(Original title: Sonate voor twee piano's nummer 1)
240 10 $a Preludes, $m piano, $n book 1
(Original title: Préludes pour piano, livre 1)
240 10 $a Pièces, $m flute, continuo, $n livre 2.

240 10 $a Symphonies, $n no. 2
(Original title: Symphony 2)
240 10 $a Symphonies, $n no. 3
(Original title: Third symphony)
Do not routinely change existing uniform titles to bring them into conformity with these
guidelines unless they must be changed for another reason.
See also MCD 25.34C3.
25.30C3. Opus numbers.
Precede the opus number by "op."; precede the number within the opus, when used, by "no."
Use arabic cardinal numerals.
25.30C4. Thematic index numbers.
For works by Franz Schubert, use numbers from Deutsch's thematic index in preference to opus numbers. As a corollary to this decision, enter a song which is not part of a cycle (such as Die schöne Müllerin, Schwanengesang, etc.) directly under its own title (with the Deutsch number added where necessary to distinguish between songs having the same title), even if it was originally published as part of an opus, since Deutsch does not group songs by opus.
When cataloging a publication of one of the original opera, apply 25.34C3 and use the
uniform title [Songs. Selections] unless the original opus contained only two songs (e.g.,
op. 36), in which case apply 25.33.
For works by Antonio Vivaldi, use numbers from Ryom's thematic index. preceded by the abbreviation RV (without a period). Exception: for works in Vivaldi's op. 1-12, use the opus numbers instead of RV numbers.
25.30D. Key.
25.30D2. Post-nineteenth-century works.
For post-nineteenth-century works, include the key in the uniform title if it is part of the
composer's original title (25.27A) or the first-edition title used as a substitute for the
composer's original title (MCD 25.27A) (before the deletion of elements such as key under 25.28).
25.31. Additions to Other Initial Title Elements
25.31B. Conflict resolution.
25.31B1.
NUMBERED WORKS:
Read the second paragraph of this rule to mean that the medium of performance or descriptive phrase is to be omitted when this element would be the same for all titles that conflict.
240 10 $a Fantasie-sonate, $n no. 1
240 10 $a Fantasie-sonate, $n no. 2
240 10 $a Fantasie-sonate, $n no. 3
240 10 $a Fantasie-sonate, $n no. 4
(All are for organ)
For works with titles not consisting of the name of a type of composition which have serial numbers associated with them (whether the numbers appear as arabic or roman numerals or spelled out, and whether or not they are preceded by the designation "no." or its equivalent), apply 25.30B1 (d) to 25.31B1 and omit the medium of performance when a better file arrangement would result.
240 10 $a Antiphony, $n no. 2
245 10 $a Antiphony II : $b variations on a theme of Cavafy ...
When cataloging the first work received in such a sequence, it may, however, be advisable to defer the use of a uniform title until another work in the sequence is received, since it will then be easier to see what numbering pattern is being followed.
When the second work is cataloged, the bibliographic record(s) for the first will have to be revised to add the uniform title.
SINGULAR VS. PLURAL:
Consider that a conflict exists under this rule when two works by the same composer have titles which are identical except that one is in the singular and the other is in the
plural.
240 10 $a Fantasistykke, $m clarinet, piano
240 10 $a Fantasistykker, $m oboe, piano
25.32. Parts of a Work.
25.32A. One part.
25.32A1.
NUMBERED PARTS:
When the number of a part of a work is used in the uniform title of the part, precede the
number by the abbreviation "No." ("No," "Nr.," "N.," etc.) when such an abbreviation, or the corresponding word, appears with the numbers of the parts in the source on which the uniform title is based, or when the number appears alone there. In the latter case give the
abbreviation in the language of the initial title element. If any other term appears with
the numbers of the parts, give it as it appears in the source on which the uniform title is
based. Use arabic numerals.
100 1# $a Wagner, Richard, $d 1813-1883.

Do not routinely change existing uniform titles to bring them into conformity with these
guidelines unless they must be changed for another reason.
See also MCD 25.32B1.
REFERENCES:
Make a name/title reference from the heading for the composer and the title of the part
whenever such a reference would provide a useful access to the uniform title of the part,
regardless of whether the title of the part is distinctive.

"ORIGINAL CAST" AND "ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK" RECORDINGS
When evidence is lacking as to whether an "original cast" recording of a musical comedy,
etc., or an "original sound track" recording of a motion picture score contains all the
music, do not add "Selections" to the uniform title.
25.34. Collective Titles.
25.34B-25.34C.Selections and Works of various types in one broad or specific medium, and works of one type for one specific medium or various media.
COLLECTIVE UNIFORM TITLES AND ANALYTICAL ADDED ENTRIES
Do not apply the following provisions to collections of the types listed in LCRI 25.34B-25.34C. For excerpts from one work, treat each excerpt the same as a separate work unless there are two or more excerpts numbered consecutively (25.6B1) or three or more unnumbered or nonconsecutively numbered excerpts (25.6B3).
Printed and manuscript music
If a music publication or manuscript contains three or more works entered under a single
personal name heading, enter the collection under the collective uniform title appropriate
to the item as a whole. Make name-title added entries only in the following situations:
1) If the item contains four or more works, and all the works but one form a group for
which a collective uniform title naming a type (25.34C2-25.34C3) would be appropriate, make a name-title analytical added entry for the group and one for the single work.

Sound recordings
For sound recording collections containing three, four, or five works entered under a single personal name heading, see LCRI 25.34B-25.34C.
If a sound recording collection contains six or more works entered under a single personal name heading, enter the collection under the collective uniform title appropriate to the item as a whole. Make name-title analytical added entries as follows:
1) If the works may be divided into no more than five groups of three or more works, for each of which a collective uniform title naming a type (25.34C2-25.34C3) would be
appropriate, make an analytical added entry for each group.

COLLECTIONS OF WORKS ALL HAVING THE SAME TITLE
If all the works in a collection entered under a personal name heading have the same title
and this title is not the name of a type of composition, assign a collective uniform title
according to 25.34B, 25.34C1, or 25.34C2, using the most specific uniform title that will
cover all the works in the collection. If appropriate, add "Selections" according to the
first paragraph of 25.34C3. If the collection is a sound recording, make name-title analytic added entries according to LCRI 25.34B-25.34C and MCD 25.34B-25.34C and the instructions above. For references for collections without a collective title, see MCD 26.4B4.

If, however, the works are consecutively numbered, apply the second paragraph of 25.34C3, adding the consecutive numbering to the title of the individual works (in the singular). Do this even if the collection contains all of the composer's works with that title.

25.34C.Works of various types in one broad or specific medium, and works of one type for one specific medium or various media.
For a collection of popular songs by a composer such as George Gershwin or Cole Porter,
normally use the uniform title [Songs. Selections] regardless of whether or not some of the songs may have originally been intended for theatrical productions. If, however, the item being cataloged provides clear evidence that all the songs in the collection are from larger works of a single type, use the name of the type as the basis of the uniform title (e.g., [Musicals. Selections]).
25.34C1.
Use the uniform title [Piano music] (with "Selections" if appropriate) for both (1)
collections of music for one performer using two hands on one piano and (2) collections of music for varying numbers of performers and/or varying numbers of hands on one or more pianos. Apply the same principle to collections of music for other keyboard instruments.
25.34C2.
Apply this rule to a collection containing trio sonatas and other sonatas, using "Sonatas"
in the uniform title.
25.34C3.
Express numbers of consecutively numbered works according to MCD 25.30C2.
25.35. Additions for Musical Titles.
When one or more instrumental parts for a work or a collection of works by one composer are published separately, do not make an addition to the uniform title to bring this out. Use the same uniform title that would be used for a score or a complete set of parts.

REVISIONS BY THE ORIGINAL COMPOSER (Cf. MCD 25.25A, Footnote 9)
If a composer revises a work, retaining the original title and opus number, and the revision is one of different instrumentation within the same broad medium (e.g., orchestra, instrumental ensemble, band) rather than extensive overall revision and the introduction of new material, do not consider the revised version an arrangement, etc. Use the same uniform title for the original and revised versions.

ADDED ACCOMPANIMENTS, ETC.
Do not add arr. to the uniform title for a musical work to which an additional accompaniment or additional parts have been added with no alteration of the original music (21.21). Assign subject headings for both the expanded and the original media of performance, adding ", Arranged" to the former heading. Classify the item as an arrangement.

ALTERNATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Provided the key is unchanged and the notation has not been significantly changed, do not consider to be an arrangement

viola da gamba, recorder, etc.) which is edited for or performed on a contemporary
instrument;
2) a work for a melody instrument which is edited for or performed on an alternative
instrument specified by the composer or in early editions, preferably the first

SONG TRANSPOSITIONS
When a song or a set or collection of songs is published or performed at a pitch other than
the original to accommodate a voice range different from the one for which it was composed, do not consider this transposition to constitute an arrangement.

25.35D. Vocal and chorus scores.
25.35D1.
Note that the rule says that "vocal score" or "chorus score" is to be added to the uniform
title if the item being cataloged is a vocal score or chorus score, i.e., if it has been
described as such in the physical description area (cf. 5.5B1 and MCD 5.5B1). Therefore
whenever either of these terms is used in the physical description area to describe the item as a whole, the term must also be included in the uniform title. The use of such terms in uniform titles is no longer limited to "works in the larger vocal forms" as was the case under AACR 1.
This does not apply if the chorus score or vocal score is part of a set which also includes
a full score, parts, etc., since the item being cataloged in such cases cannot be said to "be" a chorus score or vocal score.
25.35F. Language.
Under rule 25.35F2, which was cancelled in 1993, the language was added to the uniform title for a liturgical work even if the text was in the original language only. When adding to the catalog an access point for a musical setting of a liturgical text, delete such language designations from any existing access points for the same work.
Appendix C: Numerals
C.8. Ordinal Numerals
When using ordinal numerals in music uniform titles being newly established (cf. MCD 25.30C2 and MCD 25.32A1), use the conventional English form (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) or the conventional non-English form (1., 2., 3., etc.) according to the context, except where a pattern of usage of ordinal numerals in a different form already exists. Where such a
pattern exists, change existing uniform titles to conform to one of the above conventional
forms when most or all of the headings involved are being changed for another reason;
otherwise continue to follow the existing pattern.
Appendix D: Glossary
Chorus Score
This term is used only for works originally for solo voice(s) and chorus with accompaniment.
In order for this term to be used in the physical description area for a particular
manifestation of a work, the item must omit the solo voice(s), at least in those portions of
the work in which the chorus does not sing. In addition, if the accompaniment is originally for other than keyboard instrument it must be either arranged for keyboard instrument or omitted; if originally for keyboard instrument it must be omitted. \
(Understand "if any" to mean "omitted or.") This term is not used for works originally unaccompanied or for any manifestation of an accompanied work with the original accompaniment.
See also MCD 5.5B1.
Vocal Score
This term is used for works originally for chorus and/or one or more solo voices, with
accompaniment. In order for this term to be used in the physical description area for a
particular manifestation of a work, the item must include the solo voice(s) (if any). In
addition, if the accompaniment is originally for other than keyboard instrument it must be
either arranged for keyboard instrument or omitted; if originally for keyboard instrument it must be omitted. (Understand "if any" in the definition to mean "omitted or.") This term is not used for works originally unaccompanied or for any manifestation of an accompanied work with the original accompaniment.
