Reviews:

• ...provides academic libraries with a much-needed contemporary reference tool and established heretofore unmatched bibliographic control over international Harmoniemusik.
  —Reference & User Services Quarterly
• A powerful resource, this catalog lists more than 13,000 original compositions and arrangements by more than 2,4000 composers and arrangers -- works for approximately five to 18 winds that include at least one pair of wind instruments (hence standard woodwind quintets are excluded)....The authors, who have done extensive primary research throughout Europe, including newly accessible collections in Eastern Europe, seem justified in their claim to include more that 90 percent of the early repertoire. They include a number of works and composers not represented in their Wind Ensemble Sourcebook and Biographical Guide. That volume, the present one, and the authors' forthcoming The Wind Ensemble Thematic Catalog 1700-1900 will together form the most current and comprehensive guide to wind chamber music....For all academic libraries.
