Tom Skublics was looking for books or dictionaies of music terms in various
languages. Here are some suggestions:

1. *Schirmer Pronouncing Pocket Manual of Musical Terms* edited by Thedodore
Baker and revised by Nicolas Slonimsky - Schirmer Books in paperback and very
inexpensive. Contains many musical terms in English, French, German and Italian
with a pronunciation guide.

2. *The New Harvard Dictionary of Music* - Belknap Press of Harvard University
Press. For the serious musician, this volume contains LOTS of interesting stuff.

3. *The New Groves Dictionary of Music and Musicians* - now available in
paperback at a great low price of $500 till December 31, 1996. A 20 volume
encyclopedia of music. Found in most reference sections of libraries.

Enjoy!
