Clarinet Music Resources

Keyword

• A keyword search searches almost every word in a catalog record.
• It can be a handy way to get started (searching with composer’s name and opus number, for instance) but learning some other searching strategies can make your search more efficient and cut down on irrelevant results.

 

Author

• Do an author search for composers and/or performers.
• Enter authors’ names in indirect order (last name, first).
