Definition |
The musical presentation statement for printed or manuscript music. Transcribe the statement from the item. The statement describes the particular format of the edition in hand, which may differ from the format of another edition of the same work (e.g., a string quartet published as a score, study score, score and parts, or a set of parts).
Use for statements that indicate the physical presentation of the music (e.g., score and parts, study score or miniature score). However, treat statements that indicate an arrangement or edition of a musical work (e.g., vocal score, version with orchestra accompaniment, Klavierauszug) as subsequent statements of responsibility (
field 245 subfield ‡c), regardless of whether a name appears in conjunction with the statement.
Use field 254 only in records cataloged according to AACR2. |
