granting institution.” Furthermore, various guidelines and instructions are modified or removed, reducing the reliability of the cited RDA instructions in Cataloging beyond the Notes and requiring confirmation of rules and best practices in the Official RDA Toolkit. Cataloging beyond the Notes is aimed at “both experienced music catalogers and those beginning to catalog music” (p. xiv). The former will benefit from Hartsock and Lisius’s thorough commentary on notes and notes-related examples; the latter will benefit even more from the presence of RDA instructions (with instruction numbers), LC-PCC PSs, and MLA BPs, allowing the book to serve as supplemental instruction as well as a cataloging reference source. That being said, it bears repeating that the usefulness of these instructions and best-practice statements as a reference source will wane over time, as standards and rules continue to evolve. This has already been demonstrated by the transition to the Official RDA Toolkit, and as Hartsock and Lisius state in the appendix, “once the new official Toolkit has solidified as cataloging reference, a new edition of this book reflecting these concerns may be useful” (p. 834). Until such a time, Cataloging beyond the Notes will serve as a somewhat limited, but crucial reference source for catalogers.

The material in the first chapters is brief and could use more context and detail to establish Johnson's relationship with music at an early age and describe his early performances and experiences. Hunsaker engages the reader through stories and firsthand accounts, however, and these primary sources and personal narratives provide successful development of the subject. It is well suited for any high school, college, or adult trumpet player interested in learning more about a dedicated teacher and improving their trumpet teaching or performance level.

ABSTRACT:Digitally notated music scores are widely created and distributed. But the collaborative nature of the online environment and variety of file formats and software choices, both proprietary and open-source, present unique challenges for archivists when it comes to sharing, preserving, and providing access to these digital scores now and into the future. This article addresses the advantages and disadvantages of file formats for digital notated music scores that offer the greatest potential for long-term preservation, sustainability, and future accessibility. These formats, outlined in the Library of Congress's Recommended Formats Statement, are MusicXML, the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) schema, and PDF/UA/A. The authors conducted a survey of eighty-nine music professors at twenty-two universities to determine the extent to which they utilize these different file formats as well as digital preservation best practices in their work. All respondents who create musical scores use digital notation software. While most utilize PDF and discuss this format with their students, far fewer use MusicXML and MEI. Only 46 percent were aware of the principles of digital preservation. The article concludes with a detailed analysis of the results from this survey, which revealed ways in which information professionals can educate faculty about responsible measures that will ensure the long-term accessibility and research potential of digital music scores in an ever-changing digital world.

“There must be few cities in France where there isn’t at least one teacher who claims to be Reicha’s pupil,” as Jelensperger put it (p. 438, my trans.). The ensuing exhibition catalog presents a wide variety of documentary material and manuscripts reproduced attractively in full-color illustrations, progressing chronologically through all stations and facets of Reicha’s career. The annotations are engaging, scrupulously precise as to the current state of knowledge, and often disarmingly incisive about the potential biographical and music-historical value. Like the rest of the volume, the objects under consideration attest to the depth and richness of Reicha-related material in the BnF. To cite just one example of how seemingly innocuous items can be the result of groundbreaking new discoveries: The inclusion of Reicha’s Concertante for Flute, Violin, and Orchestra in G major, composed in Bonn, provides the occasion for Goy to mention that two missing gatherings of the original manuscript, which contain sixty-seven measures of the first movement, were only discovered in March 2021 (pp. 486–89). These sixteen pages of music had been slumbering in another box (MS-9153) alongside a quite radical symphony in E-flat, which watermark analysis has revealed to be another work from the Bonn period. (See my own article on the chronology of Reicha’s Bonn works from the aforementioned Antoine Reicha visionnaire [forthcoming].) Seeing as all previous works lists, most recently those by Peter Eliot Stone in Grove Music Online (s.v. “Reicha [Rejcha], Antoine (-Joseph)” [2001], doi:10.1093/gmo /9781561592630.article.23093 [accessed 31 December 2022]) and by Ludwig Finscher in MGG Online, (s.v. “Reicha, Anton, Werke” [November 2016], https://www-mgg-online-com/mgg /stable/401130 [accessed 31 December 2022]) declare most of Reicha’s Bonn works lost, this alone represents a significant leap forward in understanding his early compositional efforts. It also unfortunately reveals the two fine recordings of this delightful work, by the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra in 1995 (Anton Reicha, Orchestral Works, cond. Peter Gülke, MDG Gold MDG 355 0661-2, CD) and Gli Angeli Genève in 2020 (Anton Reicha, Symphonies concertantes, cond. Stephan Macleod, Claves 50-3011, CD), as incomplete. Altogether, this catalog and essay collection should inspire further fascination in a still under-researched musical giant—not even a reliable list of Reicha’s authentic works exists, to say nothing of a state-of-the-art thematic catalog. The rich array of objects under consideration, the majority of which still await detailed scholarly attention, will hopefully motivate further researchers to join the effort.
