Can I use the OSU Library Catalog to find specific works within collected editions?
Not always. Some collected editions do have a catalog entry for each volume within them (e.g. Recent researches in the music of the Baroque era). However, some do not — sometimes you will be able to look up the overall title of the collected edition to see if we have it in the Library, but you will not find information about individual volumes. So you will be able to find the general call number for, say, the collected works of Bach, but the catalog will not tell you what is in each volume. So how do I find specific works within collected editions? First, check the OSU Library Catalog in the usual way. For some collected editions there are entries in the catalog for the individual volumes within them. If you cannot find the work in the catalog there are two books you can use to try and establish which collected edition a work is contained within: You can use a book by Anna Heyer called Historical sets, collected editions and monuments of music: a guide to their contents.
