PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE ACTS OF CONGRESS OF MARCH 3, 1891
OF JUNE 30, 1906, AND OF MARCH 4, 1909

EXPLANATIONS TO BE NOTED BY USERS OF THIS CATALOGUE

NHE Catalogue of Copyright Entries is published in four parts. Part 3, containing the entries for musical compositions and dramatico-musical compositions, is issued at monthly intervals in twelve numbers each year, and is followed by a complete index for the year. The general arrangement is an alphabet of the titles of the musical works with certain exceptions explained hereafter. The arrangement is alphabetical under the first word of the title (except “a,” “an,” or “the," or the corresponding foreign articles), and a grouping at the end of the title alphabet of such titles as will not conveniently alphabetize (e. g., titles beginning with numerals, dates, etc.).

EXCEPTIONS.—(1) In the case of editions of classical music, instead of distributing them under the titles, each author's works are brought together by an entry under the original composer's name, and for such works search should be made in this number under the following names: Bach (Johann Sebastian); Balfe (Michael William); Beethoven (Ludwig van); Brahms (Johannes); Chopin (Frédéric François); Donizetti (Gaetano); Gounod (Charles François); Grieg (Edvard Hagerup); Händel (Georg Friedrich); Haydn (Franz Josef); Liszt (Franz); MacDowell (Edward Alexander); Massenet (Jules Emile Frédéric); Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (Jacob Ludwig Felix); Moszkowski (Moritz); Mozart (Wolfgang Amadeus); Offenbach (Jacques); Puccini (Giacomo); Raff (Joseph Joachim); Rubinstein (Anton Gregorovitch); Saint-Saëns (Charles Camille); Schubert (Franz Peter); Strauss (Richard); Tschaikowsky (Peter Iljitch); Verdi (Giuseppe); Wagner (Richard).

(2) COLLECTIONS having general titles, such as "Fünf studien,” “12 études élémentaires," etc., and pieces published without individual identifying titles, but designating the class of musical work (e. g., "waltz," "dance," "march," "cantata," "schottische," "nocturne," "impromptu," "sonata," " étude,” "study," ," "exercise," etc., without differentiating words and only identifiable by the name of the composer) are entered under the composer's name without cross reference from the titles, and search should only be made under the names of the composers.

IMPRINTS.-As the publishers of musical compositions are generally also the claimants of copyright, the imprint is omitted, but when the name and address of the publisher differ from those of the copyright proprietor, mention of the fact is made at the end of the title as an imprint, giving place of publication and name of publisher.

NOTICE

The Copyright Act of 1909 provides that of the articles deposited
for copyright registration the Librarian of Congress shall determine

District of Columbia for use therein.

The Act further provides that any article undisposed of as above
and still remaining on the shelves of the Copyright Office may be
returned to the claimant of copyright under the provisions of section
60 of the Act.

NOTICE is, therefore, hereby given to any author, copyright pro-
prietor, or other lawful claimant, that, in so far as any copyright
articles deposited from January 1, 1920, to December 31, 1928, inclu-
sive, are still remaining in the files of the Copyright Office, and are
not to be transferred to the Library of Congress or to any other
governmental library in the District of Columbia, such books or

This notice includes any printed and published copyright deposits,
such as books, periodicals, dramatic compositions, musical composi-
tions, engravings, cuts or prints, lithographs, photo-engravings, or
photographs. Manuscripts or typewritten dramas and photographs
filed for identifying works of art may not be returned. No maps are
available for return.

should make formal request for the return of the articles, which
must be separately and definitely specified. A suitable blank will
be supplied on request. Address REGISTER OF COPYRIGHTS, Library of
