While other source books exist in which some of this information could be found, it is often incomplete or in such abundance that selection is difficult.

Preceding these is a general alphabetical index to all the composers included in the work, with reference to information on them contained in the three main sections following. The Biographies section is divided among five eras beginning with Baroque and concluding with Twentieth Century International. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second section of the book, Music, is organized in twelve genre categories in which composers are entered alphabetically along with the titles of their compositions. Wherever possible, information is provided on date of composition, publisher and\/or source, and duration; often with additional comments included. Library sources are given for manuscripts and for published music that is out of print; otherwise, a current publisher is listed. The Discography section organizes recorded works alphabetically by composer, then alphabetically by title. This section also includes a directory of recording companies. The volume concludes with a bibliography and references. \u003ci\u003eViolin Music by Women Composers\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique, up-to-date, and thoughtfully organized resource.
