You could also try searching the Library of Congress, Harvard Libraries, and the Bodlian Library.
If you search smaller libraries you will also find stuff. Look up the music libraries at conservatories. Peabody, Oberlin, Julliard, Curtis, Cleveland Institute, Eastman, Mannes (New School), New England Conservatory, Manhattan School, Royal Academy of Music, etc. Also big state schools like Michigan State. Most schools have a separate music library not contained in the main library.
All of the individual schools will have their own dissertations on file.
You can almost always search the catalogs of individual libraries online. They may have a separate database for dissertations, but in any case contacting the librarians should get you what you need. You might have to pay for them to send you a hard copy. If you can't access an online version of a dissertation from home, try your public library or local university library, they might have access. You can save it to a memory stick, print it, or email it to yourself. Just about any college or university library will allow you use the library as a reader if you ask. Dress in academic casual and ask for the reference or music librarian if you have to.
