Creator: Grove, George, Sir, 1820-1900. Description: This is a
copy of the third volume of "Dictionary of Music and Musicians,"
edited by Sir George Grove. This volume, published in 1883, is
an encyclopedic work that contains the biographies of well-known
composers as well as articles contributed by various authors on
music topics, concepts and definitions starting alphabetically
from: "P" (Planché, James Robinson) to "S" (the title of the
Medieval rota, "Sume is icumen in"). The names of contributing
authors appear in a list on pp.[v]-vii, signed "29 Bedford
Street, Covent Garden, July, 1883." The titles of volumes I and
II, indicate that the dictionary was issued in three volumes.
However, the titles of the third and fourth volumes changed that
statement to indicate that the publication of the dictionary was
in four volumes. Contributing Partner: UNT Music Library
