Large-Print Scores and Books Catalog, a

guide to the large-print collection in the

Music Section, National Library Service

for the Blind and Physically Handicapped,

Library of Congress, includes large-print

music and books on music and musicians

available as of January 2010.

This catalog is divided into two general

sections, one for scores and the other

for books. Scores are further divided

into seven categories¡ªbrass, keyboard,

percussion, strings, voice, woodwinds,

and ensembles. Books are arranged

into five groups¡ªautobiographies and

biographies, braille music notation,

college-level texts, popular subjects, and

reference tools.

Music for individual instruments is

listed under the appropriate instrument

family heading, e.g., piano music under

keyboard and trumpet music under brass.

The listings under voice include music as

well as librettos and song and hymn texts.

Within the subsections for individual

instruments and voice, pieces by a single

composer are listed under the composer¡¯s

name. Collections of music by several

composers are listed under collection

titles. An alphabetical index to authors,

composers, and titles is provided.

Publisher information has been omitted

from the Scores section. However, this

information is available in the NLS online

catalog at , or can

be found by calling the Music Section at

1-800-424-8567. Publishers have been

included in the Books section.

Masters for large-print scores in the

NLS music collection were variously

handcopied, prepared from photo-enlarged

print music, or produced by computer.

Most handcopied and photo-enlarged

music masters were prepared by members

of Sigma Alpha Iota and Phi Beta honor

fraternities and other volunteers.

Except where special sizes are noted

and in books about music and musicians,

the music staff size is approximately one

inch. Books are printed commercially

or are enlarged and reproduced by

xerography. Minimum type size is 14

points. For illustration, we have provided

a sample large-print music score in the

centerfold of this catalog.
