Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, by James Brown (1886)
with a bibliography of English writings on music
This work aims at conciseness in every particular, and each notice is so arranged that any fact of a biographical or bibliographical character may readily be found. All anecdotal and gossipy matter has been suppressed, the intention of the Editor being merely to put forth a work of utility, especially in view of the fact that so many works in musical literature exist to which readers can turn for pastime. The endeavour has been to present a series of brief notices of Musicians in which every important fact likely to be ot use has been noted.
