HELPFUL REFERENCE BOOKS

Hinson, Maurice.  Guide to Piano Repertoire  (Shelved in Ready Reference)
Probably the most helpful single book in the library for pianists.  Extensive listing of piano repertoire,  with limited biographical data on composers and discussions of varied editions for major composers.  Helpful indexes, appendix, bibliography, and publisher list.

REF   ML128.P3    Call numbers beginning with REF ML128.P3 (in the Reference section) refer to bibliographies of piano repertoire.  A sampling:
