"For the most part, these articles appear substantially as first printed in The international cyclopedia of music and musicians ... In nine instances, however, articles have been expanded, or new articles prepared, to fit the particular needs of this volume, these being the articles on Bloch, Copland, Harris, Honegger, Milhaud, Prokofieff, Shostakovich Scriabin and Villa-Lobos. In some, but not all instances, the expansion has been made by the author of the original article in the Cyclopedia."--Introd.
