Background
The RDA Music Implementation Task Force was formed in September 2011. Its charge
1
comprises several tasks, three of which are fulfilled in the present document:
1. Create music-related best practices documentation to supplement Resource Description
and Access (RDA)
2
.
2. Make recommendations regarding the relationship between the MLA music-related best
practices document and other official RDA policies such as the Library of
Congress/Program for Cooperative Cataloging Policy Statements (LC-PCC PS) and other
decisions disseminated by PCC.
3. Create complete examples for scores, audio recordings, musical works, and musical
expressions.
3
Purpose and Scope
These best practices guidelines should:
Provide sufficient guidance for creating and enhancing both basic descriptions (“core
records”) and more robust descriptions of musical resources and the musical works and
expressions embodied therein. In MARC21, these descriptions take the form of
bibliographic and authority records.
Be comprehensible and useful to both catalogers transitioning from an AACR2
environment and newly-trained catalogers.
Be usable as the basis for training materials, such as cataloging manuals and workshop
curricula.
Be amenable for repurposing for use in future data environments
4
.
Be amenable for repurposing for use by agencies applying RDA in other languages.

Use of this Document
These best practices guidelines are arranged by RDA instruction number. RDA instructions are
arranged according to the entities embodied in resources, their attributes and their
relationships, rather than by carrier format (as was the case in AACR2); these guidelines are
structured accordingly. Situations pertaining to specific formats are described in the context of
the applicable RDA instruction.
This document should be consulted in combination with RDA itself, as well as any local and/or
cooperative policies, including LC-PCC PS and section Z1 of the Library of Congress Descriptive
Cataloging Manual (DCM Z1)
5
. MARC mappings and examples are intended to supplement the
RDA to MARC mappings given in the Toolkit, as well as the MARC21 documentation itself
6
and
encoding guidelines specific to the cataloging interface
7
. Cases where LC-PCC PS gives sufficient
guidance, and where these guidelines contravene LC-PCC PS, are indicated as such.
These guidelines presume no prior knowledge on the part of the reader of the Anglo-American
Cataloging Rules, 2
nd
Edition, Revised (AACR2) or their accompanying Library of Congress Rule
Interpretations (LCRI). However, pertinent comparisons to AACR2 are made in a limited number
of cases (i.e., when RDA practice differs fundamentally).
8
These guidelines do presume a basic
level of training with RDA and LC-PCC PS, however. With a few exceptions, cataloging guidelines
of a general nature, such as for identifying and constructing access points for persons and
corporate bodies, are out of scope for this document.
Recommendations prefaced by “if feasible” apply to elements that are not identified as RDA
Core (or in some cases LC “Core-plus”), but that the Task Force feels are routinely valuable to
transcribe or record for music resources. Cataloger’s judgment dictates that any such elements
which are difficult to ascertain or burdensome to transcribe or record do not fall into the
category of “feasibility” and thus may be omitted. The Task Force also understands that the
above criteria will vary from cataloger to cataloger, and from agency to agency. In an
increasingly distributed global metadata environment, the burden of completeness need not
rest with an individual metadata creator. Thus, these recommendations are equally intended to
serve as guidance when enhancing existing metadata for music resources.
Recommendations designated “if readily ascertainable” apply to information present on the
resource being cataloged, or information encountered during the course of routine authority
research.

A prime example is OCLC’s Bibliographic Formats and Standards (http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/). Note that at
the time of writing of these best practices guidelines, the documentation available at this site has not yet been
fully harmonized with RDA.

Section 1. Recording Attributes of
Manifestation & Item
Chapter 1. General Guidelines on Recording Attributes of
Manifestations and Items
1.4. Language and Script
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. If feasible, follow LC-PCC PS also for the first
alternative (LC and/or PCC practices, as applicable) and the optional addition, that is, transcribe
both the original script and a transliterated form for the elements listed. Otherwise, transcribe
only the transliterated form.
1.5. Type of Description
MLA recommendation: for large multi-volume sets and series of notated music (i.e., those that
are typically classed in M2-M3.1), generally create separate descriptions for the set/series as a
whole and for each volume in the series, regardless of whether the set is classed together or
not.
Relate separately cataloged volumes to the main work following the guidelines in Chapter
25 (Related Works).
1.5.2. Comprehensive Description
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
1.5.3. Analytical Description
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
1.5.4. Hierarchical Description
MLA recommendation: Generally follow LC-PCC PS, except when applying the recommendation
given under 1.5.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14

1.7.1. Transcription
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, including for both alternatives, that is, for each
separate element, either “take what you see” from the resource or apply Appendix A, per local
policy and/or cataloger’s judgment.
If applying Appendix A, or when in doubt, leave a space between a caption (e.g., “op.”) and an
opus or thematic index number.
1.7.5. Symbols
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
1.8.2. Form of Numerals
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS for 1
st
alternative.
Note: this may result in a different form of numeral in a series transcription (490) and its
corresponding access point (8xx).
EXAMPLES:
490 1_ AIMP ; $v CIII
830 _0 Archives internationales de musique populaire
(Series) ; $v 103.
490 1_ Documenta musicologica. Zweite Reihe: Handschriften-
Faksimiles ; $v Band XLIII
830 _0 Documenta musicologica. $n 2. Reihe, $p
Handschriften-Faksimiles ; $v 43.
1.10.2. Notes--Capitalization
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS for both alternatives.

Chapter 2. Identifying Manifestations and Items
2.1.2.3. Resource Issued in More Than One Part
This instruction applies to many kinds of music resources, including multi-disc audio recordings,
scores issued with parts, sets of parts, etc. The following are guidelines for choosing a preferred
source of information in several common cases.
Multi-part audio recordings:
1) Generally apply b) if parts are numbered and title information is repeated on each part.
If title information is not repeated, treat the individual parts as a collective source.
2) Generally apply a) if parts are not numbered and title information is repeated on each
part. If title information is not repeated, treat the individual parts as a collective source.
Scores issued with parts: Generally apply a) and treat the score (along with a cover or wrapper if
present) as a source of information identifying the resource as a whole.
Sets of parts with no score: Generally apply a) if there is a cover or wrapper, and treat it as a
source of information identifying the resource as a whole. If there is no cover or wrapper, apply
d) and select one of the parts as the main part. Use judgment in making this selection, giving
preference to parts that would generally appear first in score order (e.g., violin I in a string
quartet, flute in a wind quintet). In both cases, apply 2.20.2.3 and make a note on the source of
the title.
Books or scores issued with audio/video carriers: Generally apply a) or d) as follows:
1) If the audio/video carrier is affixed to the cover or endpapers of the book/score, apply a)
and treat the book/score as the source of information identifying the resource as a
whole. Apply 2.2.2.2.
2) If the book/score and audio/video carrier is housed together in a single container (e.g., a
box containing a CD jewel case and a book) or the book/score is inserted into the
container (e.g., a booklet in a jewel case), or the book/score is the same size as the
audio/video carrier, apply d) and treat the audio/video carrier as the main part. Note
that a booklet cover which is visible through the front of a container forms part of that
container. Apply 2.2.2.3 or 2.2.2.4 as appropriate.
3) In cases of doubt, base the decision on the perceived intent of the publisher and/or the
relative importance of each component to the cataloging agency.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14

2.2.2.2. Preferred Source of Information--Resources Consisting of One or More Pages, Leaves,
Sheets, or Cards (or Images of One or More Pages, Leaves, Sheets, or Cards)
Note: for printed music, cover is preferred over caption.
9
Use cataloger's judgment in determining whether or not the resource has a cover. Generally
consider a cover to be made of substantially different material (e.g., heavier or different
colored paper) than the paper on which the music is printed.
2.2.2.4. Preferred Source of Information--Other Resources
This instruction applies to all audio carriers.
2.3.1.7. Title Proper--Titles of Parts, Sections, and Supplements
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
EXAMPLES:
245 10 Choraleworks. $n Set II : $b ten chorale preludes
for organ
245 10 Ouvertures per il teatro di Shakespeare. $n N. 5, $p
Il racconto d'inverno : $b per orchestra
245 10 Bolivian Baroque. $n Vol. 2, $p Music from the
missions and La Plata
245 00 Billboard #1s. $p The '70s
245 04 The Dick Cavett show. $p Ray Charles collection
245 00 Musical theatre for classical singers. $p Soprano
The compilations with this title for other voice ranges contain different songs.
but
245 10 Songs of separation / William Grant Still.
250 Tenor.
This piece is published in tenor and baritone versions.
9
Under AACR2, caption was preferred over cover.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
9
2.3.2.8.1. Other Elements Recorded as Part of the Title Proper--Type of Composition, Medium
of Performance, Key, Etc.
MLA recommendation: Consult the alphabetical list at Types of Compositions for Use in Music
Uniform Titles to determine whether the title in question meets the condition of the
instruction. Do not consider such titles as "Double concerto," "Tripelkonzert", etc. to be names
of types of compositions.
When a composer uses a word which is normally the name of a type of composition as the title
of a work which is definitely not a work of the type designated by the word, do not consider the
title to be the name of a type of composition.
A title consisting of two words, each of which alone would be the name of a type of
composition, may in combination produce a distinctive title. Generally treat such a compound
title as a distinctive title.
2.3.2.9. Title Proper--Resources Lacking a Collective Title
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, that is, generally do not apply the alternative. Apply
the alternative in cases of archival or other large collections. Note that since resources of this
type do not normally carry title information, the exception at 2.2.4 applies and no square
brackets are necessary.
EXAMPLES:
245 00 Collection of 18th century English songs and
ballads.
245 04 The Vivian Perlis Collection of Schmitz, Ornstein,
Copland, and Kirkpatrick.
2.3.2.11. Title Proper--Recording Devised Titles
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS for the alternative.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
10
2.3.3. Parallel Title Proper
MLA recommendation: If feasible, record all parallel titles proper appearing on the preferred
source. Optionally, record parallel titles appearing elsewhere in the item.
Parallel titles from any source in the item may be transcribed in 245 $b or $c, without square
brackets. Parallel titles should also be encoded in 246 31, to ensure proper indexing.
EXAMPLE:
100 1_ De Pastel, Karen, $d 1949-
245 10 Unter den Grten von Bolhás : $b 9 Stcke über
ungarische Volksmelodien fr 2 Flöten = In the gardens of
Bols : 9 pieces based on Hungarian folksongs for 2 flutes
/ $c Karen De Pastel.
246 31 In the gardens of Bolhás
When a parallel title is taken from outside the preferred source and recorded in 246 (in
addition to 245 $b or $c), apply 2.20.2.3 (Note on Title Source) by encoding either a 500 note or
an introductory phrase in 246 $i.
EXAMPLE:
245 04 Das dunkle Reich = $b Dark kingdom
246 31 Dark kingdom
500 English title from caption.
Or
245 04 Das dunkle Reich = $b Dark kingdom
246 1_ $i English title from caption: $a Dark kingdom
Alternatively, parallel titles from outside the preferred source may be given only in 246 1_ with
an introductory phrase in $i. This approach may be preferable when multiple parallel titles
appear in different sources, and therefore the second paragraph at 2.3.3.3 is difficult to apply.
EXAMPLE:
245 10 Píseň bohatýrská = $b Heroisches Lied = A hero's
song = Le chant héroïque : op. 111 / $c Antonín Dvořák.
246 1 $i Parallel title on cover: $a Heldenlied
246 31 Heroisches Lied
246 31 Hero’s song
246 31 Chant roïque
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
11
2.3.4. Other Title Information
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, that is, routinely transcribe other title information
appearing in the same source as the title proper.
Give subtitles, alternative titles, etc. appearing on other sources (e.g., cover, caption, container
spine of an audio carrier) if deemed useful for identification or access. Since other title
information as defined in RDA can only be transcribed from the same source as the title proper,
encode such subtitles as variant titles (per 2.3.6) in 246. Use indicators 13, 1_ with $i, or other
indicator values according to local practice, as appropriate.
EXAMPLES:
245 00 Barry Manilow.
246 1_ $i Subtitle on cover: $a Sing 8 of his best with
sound-alike CD tracks
245 03 El lenguaje del tambor
246 1 $i Subtitle on container: $a Bata rhythms &
techniques from Matanzas, Cuba
246 1_ $i Subtitle on container spine: $a Collection of
tracks from performers who made their name at Harlem's
legendary Apollo Theatre
246 1_ $i Subtitle on insert: $a Tribute to Peter Tosh
2.3.5. Parallel Other Title Information
MLA recommendation: If feasible, transcribe all parallel other title information. See D.1.2.2 for
guidance on encoding parallel data in 245, using ISBD presentation.
2.3.6.3. Recording Variant Titles
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. Encode titles in 246 or 740 as appropriate. When
encoding variant titles in 246, use indicators 13, 1_ with $i, or other values according to local
practice, as appropriate.

13
2.4.1.1. Statements of Responsibility--Scope
MLA recommendation: For the purposes of this instruction, generally consider that the
participation of performers of popular music, jazz, etc., is not limited to performance,
execution, or interpretation, and record statements identifying these performers as statements
of responsibility.
2.4.1.4. Recording Statements of Responsibility
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, that is, generally do not apply the optional omission.
2.4.1.5. Statement of Responsibility--Statement Naming More than One Person, Etc.
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, that is, generally do not apply the optional omission.
2.4.1.8. Noun Phrases Occurring with a Statement of Responsibility
This instruction applies regardless of whether the noun(s) or noun phrase(s) is/are indicative of
the nature of the work
11
, and regardless of whether the noun(s) or noun phrase(s) appear(s)
immediately adjacent to the prepositional phrase(s) following it.
EXAMPLES:
245 10 Tartuffe : $b comic opera in three acts / $c music
and libretto by Kirke Mecham.
245 14 Der Freischütz / $c Oper in 3 Akten von C.M. von
Weber.
245 13 La sonnambula / $c Vincenzo Bellini ; melodramma in
due atti di Felice Romani ; riduzione per canto e
pianoforte condotta sull'edizione critica della partitura a
cura di Alessandro Roccatagliati e Luca Zoppelli.
If deemed useful for identification or access, encode a variant title in 246, using indicators 13,
for any noun(s) or noun phrase(s) not already recorded as title information.
11
Under AACR2, such nouns were transcribed as other title information.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
14
2.4.2. Statement of Responsibility Relating to Title Proper
MLA recommendation: If feasible, record all statements of responsibility relating to title proper
appearing on the preferred source. Optionally, record statements of responsibility relating to
title proper appearing elsewhere in the item.
Statements of responsibility relating to title proper from any source in the item may be
transcribed in 245 $c, without square brackets. If transcribing statements from multiple
sources, apply 2.4.1.6 and give them in the order that makes the most sense, according to
judgment. Generally, give statements from prominent sources (e.g., cover, caption, title page
verso) before statements from other sources, and give all statements appearing in the item
before statements from outside the item (which are given in square brackets).
For the purposes of this instruction, do not consider attributions, etc. embedded in text to be
statements of responsibility. If desired, apply 2.20.3 and give such attributions as notes on
statement of responsibility.
EXAMPLES:
245 12 A piece for Yvonne : $b for solo piano / $c Gustav
Holst ; edited by Raymond Head.
On caption: edited by Raymond Head.
245 10 Nänie : $b for chorus of mixed voices with orchestra
(and harp ad libitum) op. 82 / $c [poem by] Friedrich
Schiller ; [music by] Johannes Brahms ; English version by
Alma Strettell.
On title page: Friedrich Schiller, Johannes Brahms. On caption: English version by Alma
Strettell. On cover: music by Johannes Brahms, poem by Friedrich Schiller. (Statements from title
page transcribed first, and 2.4.1.7 applied)
245 10 On the beach at Fontana : $b soprano and piano / $c
Roger Sessions ; text by James Joyce.
On cover: text by James Joyce.
2.4.3. Parallel Statement of Responsibility Relating to Title Proper
MLA recommendation: If feasible, transcribe all parallel statements of responsibility relating to
the title proper. See D.1.2.2 for guidance on encoding parallel data in 245, using ISBD
presentation.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
15
2.5.1.4. Recording Edition Statements
Separate multiple designations of edition, designations of named revision of edition, etc. in 250
by a comma.
EXAMPLES:
250 Revised 1947 version, Full orchestral score.
250 Full score, Second printing with revisions.
2.5.1.5. Edition Statements Relating to Issues or Parts
A common case in music is when a score, cataloged together with parts, bears the statement
“Score” (or its equivalent). Per this instruction, do not treat such a statement as a designation
of edition, as it does not apply to the entire resource.
2.5.2. Designation of Edition
The most common designations of edition in music resources fall into category (b)(vii), “a
statement indicating … a particular voice range or format for notated music.
12
Treat a statement indicating a particular voice range that is not grammatically linked to the
title, other title information, etc. as a designation of edition, whether or not it includes the
word "edition" or its equivalent.
EXAMPLES:
250 Low voice.
245 10 Songs of separation / William Grant Still.
250 Tenor.
245 10 Songs of separation / William Grant Still.
250 Baritone.
This piece is published in tenor and baritone versions.
but
245 00 Musical theatre for classical singers. $p Soprano
The compilations with this title for other voice ranges contain different songs.
12
Under AACR2, statements of the latter type were treated as Musical Presentation Statements, and encoded in
MARC field 254.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
16
For the latter type (“format for notated music”), refer to the list of formats given at 7.20.1.3 for
guidance in determining whether the statement in question fits the scope or not.
Vocal scores and chorus scores are special cases inasmuch as they have dual identities: as a
format of notated music (manifestation), subject to this instruction
13
, and as a type of
arrangement (expression). Do not treat other statements of arrangement, transposition, etc. as
designations of edition; transcribe those statements as statements of responsibility, per 2.4.
When in doubt, treat the statement as a statement of responsibility.
EXAMPLES:
250 Partitur und Stimmen.
250 Klavierauszug.
250 Studien- und Dirigierpartitur.
245 10 Six great secular cantatas / $c Johann Sebastian
Bach.
250 In full score.
On title page: Six great secular cantatas in full score.
245 10 Orlando furioso : $b dramma per musica in tre atti,
RV 728 / $c Antonio Vivaldi ; arrangement pour clavier,
Jacques Manet …
250 Chant et clavier.
On title page: Arrangement pour clavier, Jacques Manet.
On cover: Chant et clavier.
but
245 10 … / $c … ; flute and piano reduction.
245 10 Konzert für Violine und Orchester D-Dur / $c Ludwig
van Beethoven ; Ausgabe r Violine und Klavier von
Christian Rudolf Riedel.
On title page: Ausgabe fr Violine und Klavier von Christian Rudolf Riedel = Edition for violin and
piano.
For statements containing "Urtext" and its variants: consult the National Authority File to see if
the usage by a particular publisher has been established as a series or series-like phrase. If
appropriate, transcribe as a series statement (see 2.12). In other cases, use judgment in
determining whether the statement fits the "difference in content" criterion and thus may be
transcribed as an edition statement. When in doubt, do not transcribe as an edition statement.
13
Under AACR2, vocal score statements were treated as Statements of Responsibility.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
17
2.5.3. Parallel Designation of Edition
MLA recommendation: If feasible, transcribe all parallel designations of edition in 250 $b.
Note that any subsequent designations of edition, designations of named revision of edition,
etc. should follow a comma in $b (250 $a and $b are not repeatable).
EXAMPLES:
250 Study score = $b Studienpartitur.
250 Partytura = $b Score = Partitur.
250 Erstdruck, Partitur und Stimmen = $b First printing,
Score and parts.
250 Limited edition = $b Edicin limitada
250 dition critique = $b Edizione critica = Critical
edition.
2.5.4. Statement of Responsibility Relating to the Edition
MLA recommendation: If feasible, transcribe, in 250 $b, all statements of responsibility relating
to the edition.
Note that any subsequent designations of edition, designations of named revision of edition,
etc. should follow a comma in $b (250 $a and $b are not repeatable).
EXAMPLES:
250 Klavierauszug = $b Vocal score / Paul Horn.
250 Revised edition / $b by Leslie Howard.
250 Vocal score / $b revised by Michael Pilkington.

2.5.5. Parallel Statement of Responsibility Relating to the Edition
MLA recommendation: If feasible, transcribe all parallel statements of responsibility relating to
the edition in 250 $b.
Note that any subsequent designations of edition, designations of named revision of edition,
etc. should follow a comma in $b (250 $a and $b are not repeatable).
EXAMPLES:
250 Vocal score / $b arranged by Sam Jones =
Klavierauszug / bearbeitet von Sam Jones.
250 Partition chant et piano d'après le Urtext de
l'édition "L'opéra français" / $b par Karl-Heinz Müller =
Piano reduction based on the Urtext of the edition "L'opéra
fraais" / by Karl-Heinz Müller = Klavierauszug nach dem
Urtext der Ausgabe "L'opéra français" / von Karl-Heinz
ller.
250 Neuausgabe nach den Quellen, Partitur = $b New
edition based on original sources, Full score.
250 Erstveröffentlichung, Klavierauszug = $b First
edition, Vocal score = Première edition, Partition pour
piano.
2.5.6. Designation of a Named Revision of an Edition
MLA recommendation: If feasible, transcribe all designations of named revision of an edition, in
250 $a or $b as applicable.
Separate multiple designations of edition, designations of named revision of edition, etc. in 250
by a comma.
EXAMPLE:
250 5th edition, with corrections, Study score.
2.5.7. Parallel Designation of a Named Revision of an Edition
MLA recommendation: If feasible, transcribe all parallel designations of named revision of
edition in 250 $b.

2.7.6. Date of Production
MLA recommendation: record date of production in 264 (2
nd
indicator 0) $c.
EXAMPLES:
264 _0 $a [Boston, Massachusetts] : $b Boston Conservatory,

2.8.2. Place of Publication
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
If more than one place is given in the resource and it is unclear which is the “true” place of
publication and which is a place of distribution, foreign office, etc., give all places.
2.8.2.6. Place of Publication Not Identified in the Resource
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. Interpret “if possible” to mean “if feasible.”
2.8.4. Publisher's Name
MLA recommendation: Transcribe the names of all publishers appearing on the preferred
source. If feasible, transcribe the names of all publishers appearing anywhere in the item.
Encode in 264 (2
nd
indicator 1) $b.
Treat a trade name or brand name used by a publishing company (i.e., a “label” in the case of
audio recordings) as a publisher’s name.
EXAMPLES:
264 _1 [Hamburg, Germany] : $b Archiv Produktion, a
Universal Music company
264 _1 New York, N.Y. : $b London
On label: London; on container: London Records, a division of Polygram Records, Inc., New York,
N.Y.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
21
Note that there is no option to transcribe a publisher name in the shortest form in which it can
be understood and identified internationally. Thus, when in doubt as to whether a
presentation of two names in the same source represents a publishing company and the name
of a subdivision of that company or a trade name or brand name used by that company, or
whether it represents two unrelated publishers, transcribe both names as separate publishers.
EXAMPLES:
264 _1 Minneapolis, Minnesota : $b Libby Larsen Publishing
: $b Kenwood Editions
264 _1 [Paris] : $b Opus111 : $b Naïve
2.8.4.4. Publisher's Name--Statement of Function
MLA recommendation: Generally do not apply the optional addition.
2.8.4.7. No Publisher Identified
MLA recommendation: If transcribing a separate distributor statement in 264 (2
nd
indicator 2),
record “[publisher not identified]” in 264 (2
nd
indicator 1) $b. If not transcribing a separate
distributor statement in 264 (2
nd
indicator 2), and it is believed the distributor is also the
publisher, transcribe the distributor name in square brackets in 264 (2
nd
indicator 1) $b.
EXAMPLES:
264 _1 [Nanterre] : $b [Rue Stendhal]
or
264_1 [Place of publication not identified] : $b [publisher
not identified]
264 _2 [Nanterre] : $b distribué par Rue Stendhal
264 _1 [Chatsworth, California] : $b [Image Entertainment]
or
264 _1 [Place of publication not identified] : $b
[publisher not identified]
264 _2 Chatsworth, California : $b Distributed exclusively
by Image Entertainment
On container: Distributed exclusively by Image Entertainment. No other publisher on item.

2.8.6.6. Date of Publication Not Identified in a Single-Part Resource
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. Note that copyright date (whether © or ℗) is a
separate element in RDA. It, or a copyright renewal or transfer notice (see Best Practices
2.11) may be used to infer a publication date, but may not “stand in” as one. Give such inferred
dates in square brackets. Routinely give copyright date separately, even if it is the same as the
stated or inferred publication date. Give the date of publication in 264 (2nd indicator 1) $c and
the copyright date in 264 (2nd indicator 4) $c. See Best Practices 2.11 for guidelines on selecting
and recording copyright dates.
EXAMPLES:
264 _1 $c [2011]
264 _4 $c ©2011
and
008/6: t
008/7-14: 2011, 2011
264 _1 $c [2011?]
264 _4 $c ©1991
Publication date inferred from date given in preface.
2.9. Distribution Statement
MLA recommendation: If transcribing a distribution statement separately from a publication
statement, encode it in 264 (2
nd
indicator 2). It is not always necessary to record a separate
date of distribution if date of publication and copyright are already recorded.
EXAMPLES:
264 _2 Milwaukee, WI : $b Hal Leonard Corporation
264 _2 Kraków : $b Andromeda
264 _2 Kassel ; $a New York : $b Distribution mondiale
renreiter
264 _2 Paris : $b Distribution pour le monde entier,
Alphonse Leduc
264 _2 Oaks, PA : $b Eclectic DVD Distribution
When in doubt as to whether a person, family or corporate body is functioning as publisher or
distributor, transcribe the name as a publisher’s name.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14

2.10. Manufacture Statement
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
2.10.2. Place of Manufacture
Encode place of manufacture in 264 (2
nd
indicator 3) $a.
EXAMPLE:
264 _3 $a Austria
2.10.4. Manufacturer’s Name
Encode manufacture’s name in 264 (2
nd
indicator 3) $b.
EXAMPLE:
264 _3 Austria : $b Fabriqu par Sony DADC
2.10.6. Date of Manufacture
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, that is, routinely infer a publication date from a date
of manufacture and/or copyright date if it seems reasonable to assume that date is a likely
publication date. Do this even if also giving date of manufacture separately in 264 (2
nd
indicator
3) $c.
EXAMPLE:
264 _3 Austria : $b Fabriqu par Sony DADC, $c 2012.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
24
2.11. Copyright Date
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, that is, generally do not record copyright dates for
multipart monographs. For notated music, routinely record the latest copyright date in 264 (2
nd
indicator 4) $c.
EXAMPLE:
264 _1 $c [2011]
264 _4 $c ©2011
For audio recordings, routinely record the latest phonogram copyright date in a separate 264
(2
nd
indicator 4) $c. If it has been deemed useful for identification or access to also record the
latest regular copyright date, record both dates in a single 264 (2
nd
indicator 4) field, in separate
occurrences of $c.
EXAMPLES:
264_1 $c [2010]
and
264_4 $c 2008
264_1 $c [2010]
and
264_4 $c ©2010, $c 2008
Code Date type and Dates 1 and 2 in 008/06-14 as appropriate.
14
Do not transcribe a copyright renewal date as the copyright date. Do not transcribe a date of
copyright transfer as the copyright date.
2.12. Series Statement
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
For statements containing "Urtext" and its variants: consult the National Authority File to see if
the usage by a particular publisher has been established as a series or series-like phrase. If
appropriate, transcribe as a series statement. In other cases, use judgment in determining
whether the statement fits the "difference in content" criterion and thus may be transcribed as
an edition statement (see 2.5.2). When in doubt, do not transcribe as an edition statement.
14
See http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/dtst.shtm#DtSt for determining precedence of date type
when coding multiple dates.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14

2.12.3. Parallel Series Statement
MLA recommendation: If feasible, transcribe all parallel series statements.
2.12.6. Statement of Responsibility Relating to Series
MLA recommendation: Routinely transcribe the first statement of responsibility for series
representing the complete works or selected works of one composer.
EXAMPLE:
490 1_ Ausgewählte Werke / Homilius
800 1_ Homilius, Gottfried August, $d 1714-1785. $t Works.
$k Selections. $f 2006.
2.12.7. Parallel Statement of Responsibility Relating to Series
MLA recommendation: If transcribing a statement of responsibility relating to a series (such as
for the complete works or selected works of one composer), and if transcribing one or more
parallel series statements for the same series, routinely transcribe a parallel statement of
responsibility corresponding to each parallel series statement transcribed. See D.1.2.2 for
guidance on encoding parallel data in 490, using ISBD presentation.
EXAMPLES:
490 1_ Sämtliche Werke für Laute / Silvius Leopold Weiss ;
$v Band 2 = $a Complete works for lute / Silvius Leopold
Weiss ; $v volume 2
800 1_ Weiss, Silvius Leopold, $d 1687-1750. $t Lute music.
$f 2002 ; $v Bd. 2
490 1_ Opera omnia latina / Matthei Rosmarini ; $v I/1 = $a

2.12.11. Parallel Subseries Statement
MLA recommendation: If feasible, transcribe all parallel subseries statements. See D.1.2.2 for
guidance on encoding parallel data in 490, using ISBD presentation.
2.12.16. ISSN of Subseries
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
2.13. Mode of Issuance
Though LC-PCC PS 2.13 indicates that this is a core element for LC/PCC, current
implementations of the MARC21 Bibliographic Format in North America do not provide an
unambiguous means
15
for coding mode of issuance for a multipart monograph
16
. Rather, this
particular mode of issuance is inferred based on a number of clues elsewhere in the record. For
the following types of multipart monographs, mode of issuance is indicated by one or more of
the following.
Multi-volume scores and audio recordings:
008/06 (“Type of Date/Publication Status”) m
300 $a begins with a numeral higher than 1 followed by a term for type of carrier (e.g.,
“2 audio discs”)
300 $a contains “(x volumes)”, where x is a numeral higher than 1
Scores issued with part(s):
008/21 or 006/04 (“Music parts”) d, e, f
300 contains a “+ x part(s)
Sets of parts with no score:
008/21 or 006/04 (“Music parts”) d, e, f
300 $a begins with a numeral higher than 1 followed by “parts”
Books or scores issued with audio/video carriers:
300 contains $e
Multiple instances of 300
006 present
15
The RDA to MARC mapping for Mode of Issuance for a multipart monograph designates Leader/19 (Multipart
resource record level”), a character position which is currently not available for direct encoding in OCLC or most
other cataloging interfaces. Per LC-PCC PS 2.13.1.3, Leader/07 m is to be encoded for both single and multipart
monographs.
16
Defined in RDA as “A resource issued in two or more parts (either simultaneously or successively) that is
complete or intended to be completed within a finite number of parts (e.g., a dictionary in two volumes, three
audiocassettes issued as a set)”. Note that this definition applies to a resource regardless of how its component
carriers are described. See 3.1.4 for guidance on describing accompanying material.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14

Multi-CD set that has two numbering schemes; disc labels include both numbers.
For audio/video recording reissues, optionally record the issue and/or matrix number(s)
pertaining to the original manifestation in 028 (1
st
indicator 0 or 1). Do this in addition to
formulating a structured or unstructured description of the related manifestation (see 27.1). If
this description includes the issue and/or matrix number(s), set 028 2
nd
indicator to 0.

2.15.1.5. More Than One Identifier for the Manifestation
MLA recommendation: When a publisher's number appears in variant forms on an audio
recording, its container, accompanying material, etc., record at least the form on the recording
itself (e.g., the labels of a disc). If deemed useful for identification or access, record other forms
as well. Follow each by a qualifier indicating its location, if appropriate.
EXAMPLE:
028 02 VDE-CD-552 $b VDE-Gallo
028 02 VDE-552 $b VDE-Gallo $q (container)
When two or more distinct publisher's numbers appear on an audio recording, its container,
accompanying material, etc., record each, followed by a qualifier indicating its location, if
appropriate.
EXAMPLE:
028 02 MS-003 $b Mosaic
028 02 B2-82418 $b Mosaic $q (container)
Generally record matrix numbers only if they are the only numbers shown on the item. If
deemed useful for identification or access, record matrix numbers even if the resource also
bears regular publisher's numbers. Follow each matrix number by the word matrix in
parentheses.
EXAMPLE:
028 02 P 406 $b Folkways Recs. & Serv. Corp.
028 02 EFL 1406 $b Folkways Recs. & Serv. Corp. $q (container)
028 12 FP 406 $b Folkways Recs. & Serv. Corp. $q (matrix)
Matrix number recorded because it might appear with “FP” in catalogs or citations.
Generally follow LC-PCC PS for the optional addition, that is, record identifiers for all units,
including cases where scores and parts bear separate identifiers, if feasible. Follow each
identifier by a qualifier indicating the unit(s) to which it refers.
Follow LC-PCC PS for the alternative.

2.15.2. Publisher's Number for Music
MLA recommendation: If feasible, record all publisher’s and distributor’s numbers appearing on
the item. Apply the basic instructions on recording identifiers for the manifestation given under
2.15.1. However, do not precede the number with a trade name or the name of the agency,
etc., responsible for assigning it. If the resource has more than one number, record a brief
qualification only if considered important for identification, e.g., if numbers for parts of the
resource are recorded. Record the name of the publisher or distributor associated with the
number in 028 $b, in the same form as that transcribed in the publisher’s/distributor’s name
element. However, do not include levels of corporate hierarchy.
When a designation such as "no.," "Nr.," "cat. no.," "Ed. Nr." appears with a publisher's
number, do not consider it to be part of the number and do not record it with the number in
028 (1
st
indicator 3). If, however, initials, abbreviations, or words identifying the publisher also
appear with the number, transcribe the entire statement as it appears in 028 (with 2
nd
indicator
2) or a 500 note, even if this means giving again a publisher's name already transcribed as such.
Do this in addition to recording the number alone in 028; set 2
nd
indicator to 0 in this case.
EXAMPLES:
028 32 FK090003 $b Serenissima Music Inc.
028 32 HL00042155 $b Hal Leonard Corporation
028 30 3891 $b C.F. Peters
028 32 Edition Peters Nr. 3891 $b C.F. Peters
or
028 30 3891 $b C.F. Peters
500 Publisher's number: Edition Peters Nr. 3891
For reprint scores, optionally record the publishers number(s) pertaining to the original
manifestation in 028 (1
st
indicator 3). Do this in addition to formulating a structured or
unstructured description of the related manifestation (see 27.1). If this description includes the
publisher’s number(s), set 028 2
nd
indicator to 0.
For multipart notated music resources, apply the LC-PCC PS for the optional addition at
2.15.1.5, that is, follow each publisher’s number by a qualifier indicating the unit(s) to which it
refers.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
31
2.15.3. Plate Number for Music
MLA recommendation: If feasible, record all plate numbers appearing on the item. Apply the
basic instructions on recording identifiers for the manifestation given under 2.15.1. However,
do not precede the number with a trade name or the name of the agency, etc., responsible for
assigning it. If the resource has more than one number, record a brief qualification only if
considered important for identification, e.g., if numbers for parts of the resource are recorded.
Record the name of the publisher or distributor associated with the number in 028 $b, in the
same form as that transcribed in the publisher’s/distributor’s name element. However, do not
include levels of corporate hierarchy.
EXAMPLES:
028 22 D. 19 806 $b Doblinger
028 22 CMBV 063 $b Centre du musique baroque de Versailles
When a designation such as "no.," "Nr.," "cat. no.," "Ed. Nr." appears with a plate number, do
not consider it to be part of the number and do not record it with the number in 028 (1
st
indicator 2). If, however, initials, abbreviations, or words identifying the publisher also appear
with the number, transcribe the entire statement as it appears in 028 (with 2
nd
indicator 2) or a
500 note, even if this means giving again a publisher's name already transcribed as such. Do this
in addition to recording the number alone in 028; set 2
nd
indicator to 0 in this case.
For reprint scores, optionally record the plate number(s) pertaining to the original
manifestation in 028 (1

Chapter 3. Describing Carriers
3.1.4. Resources Consisting of More Than One Carrier Type
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, observing the following approaches.
Books or scores issued with audio/video carriers: Follow method 1a or 1b.
EXAMPLE:
300 1 score (xxxii pages) ; $c 30 cm + $e 1 audio disc
(4 3/4 in.)
or
300 1 score (xxxii pages) ; $c 30 cm
300 1 audio disc ; $c 4 3/4 in.
Audio/video carriers with accompanying volume (insert, booklet, etc.): Generally follow method
3, that is, consider a booklet inserted in an audio/video carrier to be of “little bibliographic
importance.” Optionally, if the accompanying volume is substantial in content and/or extent,
follow method 1a or 1b.
EXAMPLES:
500 Song texts with English translations from Yiddish
and Hebrew (4 unnumbered pages) inserted in container.
or
300 1 audio disc ; $c 4 3/4 in. + $e 1 volume (4
unnumbered pages ; 12 cm)
344 $3 Audio disc $a digital $2 rda
347 $3 Audio disc $a audio file $b CD audio $2 rda
or
300 1 audio disc ; $c 4 3/4 in.
300 4 unnumbered pages ; $c 12 cm
344 $3 Audio disc $a digital $2 rda

3.2. Media Type
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. Record media type associated with the primary
content of a resource in all cases.
If feasible, record media type associated with any accompanying material that is described in
300 $e or in a separate 300, as follows. Record multiple instances of media type in separate 337
fields.
Books or scores issued with audio/video carriers: Encode in 337 and 007/00.
Audio/video carriers with accompanying volume (insert, booklet, etc.): Encode in 337.
If deemed useful for identification or selection, specify the carrier to which the term refers in
337 $3.

3.4. Extent
See Chapter 3 Appendix for guidance on recording extent terms, carrier types and other
elements for specific types of audio recordings.
3.4.1.3. Recording Extent
MLA recommendation: Generally do not apply the alternative in a shared cataloging
environment, that is, do not use a carrier term in common usage (e.g., "1 CD", "1 DVD-ROM").
3.4.1.4. Extent--Exact Number of Units Not Readily Ascertainable
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS for the optional omission.
3.4.1.7.1. Number of Subunits--Computer Discs, Cartridges, Etc.

audio files.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
36
3.4.3. Extent of Notated Music
For resources consisting of more than one type of unit, separate each type by space-“+”-space.
Alternatively, encode extent for scores and parts in separate 300 fields.
EXAMPLES:
300 1 score (73 pages) + 5 parts
300 1 score (3 volumes) + 4 parts (3 volumes)
300 1 score (3 volumes) + 12 parts
505 0_ v. 1. Sonatas 1-5, two violins and basso continuo (1
score + 3 parts) -- v. 2. Sonatas 6-9, two violins, violone
and basso continuo (1 score + 4 parts) -- v. 3. Sonatas 10-
12, two violins, viola, violone and basso continuo (1 score
+ 5 parts).
Each volume includes a separate set of parts, for a total of 12 parts.
Note that the RDA definition of “score” includes music for a solo performer.
18
3.4.5.3. Extent of Text--Single Volume with Unnumbered Pages, Leaves, or Columns
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. Use the appropriate extent term for notated music
instead of “volume”.
EXAMPLES:
300 1 score (1 unnumbered leaf)
300 1 score (1 volume (unpaged))
3.4.5.8. Extent of Text--Complicated or Irregular Paging, Etc.
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. Use the appropriate extent term for notated music
instead of “volume”.
EXAMPLES:
300 1 score (various pagings)
or
300 1 score (10, 9, 10, 8, 10 pages)
300 1 score (2 volumes (various pagings))
18
In AACR2, music for a solo performer was described as “p. of music”, “leaves of music” or “v. of music”.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
37
3.4.5.14. Extent of Text--Single Sheet
This instruction does not apply to notated music. Describe notated music on a numbered single
sheet as “1 leaf” if only one side is numbered or as “2 pages” if both sides are numbered. If the
sheet is unnumbered, describe it as “1 unnumbered leaf if there is printing on one side or as “2
unnumbered pages” if there is printing on both sides. However, note that the carrier type (see
3.3) for a single sheet of notated music is still “sheet”.
EXAMPLE:
300 1 vocal score (1 unnumbered leaf)
3.4.5.17. Extent of Text--Continuously Paged Volumes
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS for the optional omission.
EXAMPLE:
300 1 score (2 volumes (588 pages))
3.4.5.18. Extent of Text--Individually Paged Volumes
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS for the optional addition.
3.4.5.20. Extent of Text--More than One Sheet
MLA recommendation: Do not apply this instruction to notated music. Describe notated music
on multiple unbound sheets by combining an extent term with the number of leaves or pages,
as appropriate. However, note that the carrier type (see 3.3) for multiple sheets of notated
music is still “sheet”.
EXAMPLES:
300 1 part (3 leaves)
300 1 score (5, 5 leaves)
3.5. Dimensions
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, that is, record dimensions in all cases.
See Chapter 3 Appendix for guidance on recording dimensions and other elements for specific
types of audio recordings.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
38
3.5.1.6. Resources Consisting of More Than One Carrier
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS for the alternative.
Apply the exception for notated music by encoding dimensions of each carrier after the extent
of that carrier, either in separate occurrences of 300 $c and $a, respectively, or in separate 300
fields.
EXAMPLE:
300 1 score (15 pages) ; $c 43 cm + $a 23 parts ; $c 32
cm
or
300 1 score (15 pages) ; $c 43 cm
300 23 parts ; $c 32 cm
If giving separate 300 fields, give dimensions of each unit in $c, even if they are the same.
EXAMPLE:
300 1 score (8 pages) ; $c 30 cm
300 1 part (3 pages) ; $c 30 cm
3.6. Base Material
MLA recommendation: If feasible, record base material for certain types of audio carriers.

Chapter 6. Identifying Works and Expressions
Introduction
The guidelines and encoding examples below generally pertain to authority records for
individual works, unless otherwise indicated. For authority records representing compilations of
works (e.g., “Piano music”) or classes of expressions (e.g., “Kartinki s vystavki; arranged”), MLA
recommends encoding only those elements which pertain to all works/expressions that can be
represented by that access point.
MLA recommends recording all elements that are readily ascertainable when creating or
enhancing authority records for individual works.
21
In most cases, however, these guidelines are equally applicable to bibliographic records for
manifestations embodying a single work/expression. The recording of work/expression
attributes in separate MARC fields (i.e., encoding data in fields 046 and 380-384 in addition
to formulating access points) in bibliographic records is largely a matter to be decided by
individual cataloging agencies.
22
The utility of such fields, and the feasibility of encoding them,
depends on the presence of authority records for the relevant works and/or expressions and
the number of works embodied within a resource, respectively.
21
Consult the Descriptive Cataloging Manual, Z1. Name and Series Authority Records for general guidelines in
encoding data in authority records.
22
Library of Congress’s practice is described here.

6.2.2.9.2. Recording the Preferred Title for a Part or Parts of a WorkTwo or More Parts
MLA recommendation: Generally follow LC-PCC PS for the alternative. If deemed useful for
identification or access, also give separate access points for individual movements, arias, etc.
embodied in the resource.

6.3. Form of Work
MLA recommendation: If giving form of work as a component of an access point (i.e., preferred
titles consisting of the name of one or more type of composition), routinely also record form of
work in a 380 field. For other works, record form of work separately in a 380 field if readily
ascertainable. Prefer controlled vocabulary such as LCSH. For consistency, capitalize the first
term.
23
EXAMPLES:
100 1_ Bach, Johann Sebastian, 1685-1750. $t Masses, BWV
234, A major
380 Masses $2 lcsh
110 2_ Green Day (Musical group). $t American idiot
(Musical)
380 Musicals $2 lcsh
100 1_ Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Felix, $d 1809-1847. $t
Hebriden
380 Overtures $2 lcsh
100 1_ Shepherd, Adaline, $d 1883-1950. $t Pickles and
peppers
380 Ragtime music $2 lcsh
When terms do not come from a controlled vocabulary, use a singular form.
EXAMPLE:
100 1_ Bartk, Bla, $d 1881-1945. $t Sonatinas, $m piano
$n (1915)
380 Sonatina
23
N.B. This is separate from encoding genre/form terms in 650/655 fields, though these two activities may
eventually be harmonized. Genre/form vocabulary recommended for use in RDA will eventually reside in the
forthcoming music portion of Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms for Library and Archival Materials (LCGFT).

6.4. Date of Work
MLA recommendation: Record date of work as a data element in 046 $k (and $l as appropriate)
if readily ascertainable
24
. See 6.28.1.9.1 and 6.28.1.10.1 for instructions on giving date of work
as a component of an access point (i.e., to distinguish two works with the same preferred title).
EXAMPLES:
046 $k 1947
100 1_ Antheil, George, $d 1900-1959. $t Sonatas, $m piano,
$n no. 3 (1947)

Composed 1884-1889; revised 1889-1892; revised 1905.
6.5. Place of Origin of the Work
MLA recommendation: In authority records for works, record place of origin of the work in 370
$g if readily ascertainable. Record country or local place within a country, as appropriate.
EXAMPLES:
100 1_ Peterson, Marvin Hannibal. $t Dear Mrs. Parks
370 $g United States
100 1_ Cavalli, Pier Francesco, $d 1602-1676. $t Calisto

6.9. Content Type
MLA recommendation: In addition to recording content type for the primary content, record
content type(s) associated with any substantial accompanying material that is described in 300
$e or in a separate 300, as follows. If deemed useful for identification or access, record content
type(s) associated with accompanying material that is described in 500 note.
Books or scores issued with audio/video carriers: Encode in a separate 336 field. Also encode a
006 field.
EXAMPLE:
006 jsynn############n
336 text $2 rdacontent
336 performed music $2 rdacontent
Audio/video carriers with substantial accompanying volume of text (insert, booklet, etc.):
Encode in a separate 336 field.
EXAMPLE:
336 performed music $2 rdacontent
336 text $2 rdacontent
If a score contains significant textual matter (e.g., critical commentary, libretto, preface), record
“text” in a separate 336 field. Do not record “text” in a separate 336 field merely to represent
words which underlay the notated music.
For resources with multiple carrier types, if deemed useful for identification or selection,
specify the carrier to which the term refers in 336 $3.
EXAMPLE:
300 1 audio disc (48 min., 17 sec.) ; $c 4 3/4 in.
300 1 videodisc (1 hr., 3 min., 25 sec.) : $b color ; $c
4 3/4 in.

6.10. Date of Expression
MLA recommendation: Generally do not record date of expression in a 046 field, in either
bibliographic or authority records. In bibliographic records for scores, the date of expression
can be inferred from the date of publication and/or copyright date. In bibliographic records for
audio recordings, date of expression is usually equivalent to date of capture (see 7.11.3).
6.10.3. Recording Date of Expression
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
6.11. Language of Expression
MLA recommendation: Routinely record language for the following linguistic content:
1) Text underlying printed music (scores) (008/35-37, 041 $a, 546)
2) Sung or spoken text (audio recordings) (008/35-37, 041 $d, 546)
3) Text presented separately (e.g., librettos) (041 $e, 500 or 546)
4) Subtitles (041 $j, 546)
5) Language of accompanying text (e.g., critical commentary, program notes) (041 $g, 500
or 546)
If readily ascertainable, also record:
1) Original language of printed, sung or spoken text (041 $h, 500)
2) Original language of text presented separately (e.g., librettos) (041 $n)
3) Original language of accompanying text (041 $m)
Routinely encode language in 008/35-37 and 041 as applicable. Optionally, explain the language
content in a 546 and/or 500 field as appropriate (see mappings given in the list above), if
deemed useful for identification or selection.

6.11.1.3. Recording Language of Expression
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
6.13. Identifier for the Expression
MLA recommendation: If feasible and readily ascertainable, record an International Standard
Recording Code (ISRC) associated with a specific audio recording, in a bibliographic record.
EXAMPLE:
024 0_ BRBMG0300729
6.14.2.2. Preferred Title for a Musical WorkSources of Information
A list of commonly-used reference sources is available here. There is no priority order of
reference sources, and the most appropriate source(s) to consult will vary based on the work.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
62
6.14.2.4. Recording the Preferred Title for a Musical Work
MLA recommendation: For pre-twentieth century works, normally consider phrases such as "a
due," "a cinque" to be statements of medium of performance and not part of the title as
defined in this instruction.
For pre-twentieth century works with titles such as Duo concertant, Quartetto concertante (but
not titles naming a form, such as Sinfonia concertante, Rondeau concertant, etc.), consider the
word "concertant" or its equivalent to be an adjective or epithet not part of the original title of
the work, and omit it from the preferred title.
EXAMPLE:
100 1_ Vanhal, Johann Baptist, $d 1739-1813. $t Quartets,
$m strings, $n op. 1
Title: Six quatuors concertantes : a 2 violons, alto et basse, oeuvre 1.
6.14.2.5. Preferred Title Consisting Solely of the Name of One Type of Composition
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. To determine whether the title in question meets the
condition of the instruction, i.e., whether it is a generic type of composition, consult the
alphabetical list at Types of Compositions for Use in Music Uniform Titles or other reference
sources. Do not consider such titles as "Double concerto," "Tripelkonzert", etc. to be names of
types of compositions.
When a composer uses a word which is normally the name of a type of composition as the title
of a work which is definitely not a work of the type designated by the word, do not consider the
title to be the name of a type of composition.
EXAMPLE:
100 1_ Poulenc, Francis, $d 1899-1963. $t Aubade
Title: Aubade : concerto chorégraphique pour piano et 18 instruments.
A title consisting of two words, each of which alone would be the name of a type of
composition, may in combination produce a distinctive title. Generally treat such a compound
title as a distinctive title.
EXAMPLE:
100 1_ Nielsen, Carl, $d 1865-1931. $t Humoreske-bagateller
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
63
6.14.2.7. Recording the Preferred Title for a Part or Parts of a Musical Work
MLA recommendation: When the number of a part of a work is used in the preferred title of the
part, precede the number by the abbreviation "No." ("No," "Nr." "N.," etc.) when such an
abbreviation, or the corresponding word, appears with the numbers of the parts in the source
on which the preferred title is based, or when the number appears alone there. In the latter
case give the abbreviation in the language of the preferred title of the work. If any other term
appears with the numbers of the parts, give it as it appears in the source on which the
preferred title of the part is based. Use Arabic numerals.
6.14.2.8.3. Compilations of Musical Works--Works of Various Types for One Broad Medium
MLA recommendation: Use only those conventional collectives titles for the types of works
listed in the instruction.
6.14.2.8.4. Compilations of Musical Work--Works of Various Types for One Specific Medium
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. Use only medium terms established in Library of
Congress Subject Headings (LCSH).
25
6.14.2.8.5. Compilations of Musical Works--Works of One Type for One Specific Medium or
Various Media
MLA recommendation: To the extent possible, use names of types of compositions given in
Types of Compositions for Use in Music Uniform Titles. If none of those is suitable, use an
appropriate a genre/form term (e.g., Motion picture music, Incidental music). As the titles listed
in RDA show, use an English-language form if one is available.
6.14.2.8.6. Compilations of Musical Works--Incomplete Compilations
MLA recommendation: Generally follow LC-PCC PS for the alternative. If deemed useful for
identification or access, also give separate access points for all individual works embodied in
the resource.
25
Medium of performance vocabulary recommended for use in RDA will eventually reside in the forthcoming
Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus for Music (LCMPT).

6.15. Medium of Performance
MLA recommendation: If recording medium of performance as a component of an access point,
routinely also record medium of performance as a separate element, in a 382 field. For other
works, record medium of performance in a 382 field if readily ascertainable.
26
EXAMPLES:
100 1_ Call, Leonhard von, $d 1767-1815. $t Serenades, $m
flute, viola, guitar, $n op. 5, $r C major
382 0_ flute $n 1 $a guitar $n 1 $a viola $n 1 $s 3

piano $n 1 $a violin $n 1 $a viola $n 1 $a cello $n 1 $a
bass $n 1 $s 8
26
N.B. This is separate from giving medium performance as components in subject headings in 650 fields (e.g.,
“Violin and piano music”). Medium of performance vocabulary recommended for use in RDA will eventually reside
in the forthcoming Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus for Music (LCMPT), and the
aforementioned LCSH practice will be made obsolete.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
65
In authority records for works, record the original medium of performance as specified by the
composer. If the composer specifies alternate mediums, give the medium in the authorized
access point as specified by LC-PCC PS 6.18.1.4, and record all alternatives in a 382 field.
EXAMPLE:
100 1_ Boulanger, Lili, $d 1893-1918. $t Nocturne, $m
violin, piano
382 0_ violin $p flute $n 1 $a piano $s 2
Title: Nocturne pour violon ou flute et piano.
If recording medium of performance in a 382 field in a bibliographic record, record the medium
of performance corresponding to that particular expression.
EXAMPLE:
100 1_ Forsyth, Josephine, $d 1889-1940, $e composer.
240 10 Lord's prayer; $o arranged
382 0_ soprano $n 1 $a alto $n 1 $a organ $n 1 $s 3
Originally for solo voice; arranged for duet.
6.15.1.4. Medium of Performance--Instrumental Music Intended for One Performer to a Part
Note that there is no limit to the number of medium elements recorded, either as components
of access points or in 382 fields.
27
6.15.1.5. Medium of Performance--Standard Combinations of Instruments
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
6.15.1.6. Medium of Performance--Individual Instruments
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
6.15.1.6.2. Medium of Performance--Omit Elements
MLA recommendation: If deemed useful for identification or access, record specific ranges of
instruments, etc. in a note (see 7.21).
27
In AACR2, medium statements in uniform titles were restricted to three components. In LCSH, medium
components are restricted to nine.

6.15.1.12. Medium of Performance--Accompaniment for Songs, Lieder, Etc.
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
6.16. Numeric Designation of a Musical Work
MLA recommendation: If giving numeric designation as a component of an access point,
routinely also record that numeric designation in a 383 field. For all works, record all numeric
designations that are readily ascertainable in separate 383 fields.
EXAMPLES
28
:

6.16.1.3.2. Opus Number
MLA recommendation: As the RDA examples show, use “op.”, “no.”, and Arabic numerals.
6.16.1.3.3. Thematic Index Number
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. Note that there is no restriction on thematic index
numbers that may be used in variant access points or 383 fields.
6.17. Key
MLA recommendation: If giving key as a component of an access point, routinely also record
key in a 384 field. For other works, record key separately in a 384 field if readily ascertainable.
EXAMPLES:
100 1_ Beethoven, Ludwig van $d 1770-1827. $t Sonatas, $m

384 0_ A major
6.17.1.3. Recording Key
MLA recommendation: Follow the same criteria for recording the mode (“major” or “minor”) as
for recording the pitch center, that is, if pitch center is given or apparent, but mode is not,
record only the pitch center. Follow the RDA examples, and record the symbols and rather
than the words “sharp” and “flat”, respectively.

6.18. Other Distinguishing Characteristic of the Expression of a Musical Work
MLA recommendation: If giving other distinguishing characteristic as a component of an access
point, routinely also record other distinguishing characteristic in a 381 field.
6.18.1.4. Arrangements, Transcriptions, Etc.
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
6.27.1.3. Authorized Access Point Representing a Work--Collaborative Works
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS for the alternative.
6.27.1.4. Authorized Access Point Representing a Work--Compilations of Works by Different
Persons, Families, or Corporate Bodies
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS for the alternative.
6.27.1.9. Additions to Access Points Representing Works
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. A common case in music is when a soundtrack to a
motion picture (that is a compilation of works by different persons or bodies) bears the same
exact title as the motion picture. In this case, follow “Monographs”, section 3(b) of the LC-PCC
PS, and use the qualifier “Motion picture music”. Add additional qualifiers (e.g., date) if further
conflict exists.
6.27.3. Authorized Access Point Representing an Expression
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, which refers to 6.28.3 for musical expressions.
6.28.1. Authorized Access Point Representing a Musical Work
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
In order to construct an authorized access point representing a musical work, the creators of
the musical work must be known. In order to determine the creators for a musical work, apply
the instructions at 19.2.1.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
70
6.28.1.5.1 Categories of Adaptations of Musical Works
Apply category d) to album compilations (audio recordings) only when each component work in
the compilation is itself an adaptation by the performer or performers (see 19.2.1). The mere
fact that a performer is prominently named in a resource is not sufficient justification for
deeming that his or her performance involves substantial creativity for adaptation,
improvisation, etc. at the album level. If the above criterion does not apply, and in cases of
doubt, apply 6.27.1.4 and identify the album compilation by title.
6.28.1.9. Additions to Access Points Representing Musical Works with Titles That Are Not
Distinctive
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.
Consult Thematic Indexes Used in the Library of Congress/NACO Authority File or the LC Name
Authority Record for the composer
29
to determine which numbering scheme is preferred for
use in authorized access points. Prefer thematic index numbers to opus and serial numbers
when an entry for the composer in this list indicates that the thematic index number is for use
in authorized access points. If neither this list nor the authority record for the composer gives
sufficient guidance, consult the LC Name Authority File and bibliographic file (in that order of
preference) to determine if a pattern exists for authorized access points for works by that
composer. If no guidance or pattern is available, use whichever numeric designation is readily
ascertainable. However, do not add a serial number and/or opus number if a thematic index
number is added.
6.28.2.3. Authorized Access Point Representing a Part or Parts of a Musical Work--Two or
More Parts
MLA recommendation: Follow alternative only if giving separate access points for the individual
parts is not feasible.
6.28.3. Authorized Access Point Representing a Musical Expression
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS.

Chapter 7. Describing Content
7.2. Nature of the Content
MLA recommendation: Make a note describing the genre/form of one or more of the works or
expressions embodied in the resource if deemed useful for identification or access (i.e., if the
work or expression is not adequately described by the title or by using appropriate genre/form
or subject headings).
Notes may be constructed stating both genre/form and medium of performance (see 7.21),
especially if compilations of diverse works can be thus described more concisely than by giving
the elements separately.
EXAMPLES:
500 Comic intermezzo in 2 acts.
500 Motet for soprano solo and orchestra.
500 The 1st work a pantomime with music, for solo voices
(ST), chorus (SATB), 4 pianos, and percussion; the 2nd work
a concerto scenica for solo voices, chorus and orchestra.
7.7. Intended Audience
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. If applying this element, routinely encode 008/22.
Additionally, make a note in a 521 field if deemed useful for identification or selection.
EXAMPLES:
008/22 j
521 1_ 2-9.
521 8_ Parental advisory, explicit content.
7.9. Dissertation or Thesis Information
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, that is, routinely record dissertation or thesis
information.

7.11. Place and Date of Capture
MLA recommendation: For audio and video recordings, routinely record place and date of
capture if readily ascertainable, in a 518 field. If feasible, also record place and/or date of
capture in a 033 field.
EXAMPLES:
033 00 19640920 $b 4364 $c L8
518 $o Recorded in concert $p Shrine Civic Auditorium,
Los Angeles, CA $d 1964 September 20.

518 $o Recorded $d 2010 August 22-28 $d 2011 April 23 $p
5th Studio of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting
Company, Moscow, Russia.
If recording multiple places of capture in 033, encode a separate field for each place (along with
associated dates). Encode multiple dates within one 033 field as either a range or, if feasible,
separately.
31
If an audio recording contains more than one work, and the individual works were captured on
different dates and/or in different locations, record the information for each work or group of
works in a separate 518.
EXAMPLE:
033 10 19921201 $a 19921202 $b 5754 $c L7

19.2.1.1. Basic Instructions on Recording Creators--Scope
In general, do not consider the performance of musical works in a compilation to be covered by
the conditions in paragraph 3.
Persons and families who are performers may only be considered creators if they composed the
work they perform or if, according to paragraph 4, they are responsible for modifying a
previously existing work in a way that substantially changes the nature or content of the
original and results in a new work. The mere fact that a performer is prominently named in a
resource is not sufficient justification for determining this fact. For corporate bodies that are
performers, see 19.2.1.1.1.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
83
19.2.1.1.1. Corporate Bodies Considered to Be Creators
A corporate body that is a performer must fulfill the criteria of condition e) in order to be
considered a creator. Consider that a performing group meets these criteria when:
1) the group performs a work entirely by means of improvisation
or
2) it has been determined that a work has been composed or adapted (see 19.2.1) by the
group (e.g., when an original work is credited to the group on the resource).
The mere fact that a performing group is prominently named in a resource is not sufficient
justification for determining this fact.
Use the following decision tree to determine the form of the authorized access point for the
work (whether a single work or an album compilation):
Is a performing group involved?
If so, can it be considered a creator per category e?
If the answer is yes, apply 6.27.1.2 or 6.28.1.5.2 and record the group as the
preferred name portion of the authorized access point representing the work,
coded in the 110 field (with the preferred title in the 240 or 245 field) or in the
710 field
If the answer is no…
Are there performers that are persons or families involved? If so, is the
work an adaptation that falls into 6.28.1.5.1, category d?
If the answer is yes, consider the person or family a creator per
19.2.1.1, 4
th
paragraph, apply 6.28.1.5.2 and record the person or
family as the preferred name portion of the authorized access
point representing the work, coded in the 100 field (with the
preferred title of the work in the 240 or 245 field) or in the 700
field
If the answer is no, the work has not been adapted. If the work is
a compilation, apply 6.27.1.4 and identify the compilation by title.
If the work is not a compilation, use the authorized access point of
the original work to identify it.

a performing ensemble if already giving an access point for the ensemble.
EXAMPLES:
110 2_ Majorstuen (Musical group), $e composer, $e

24.4.1. Identifier for the Related Work, Expression, Manifestation, or Item
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS, that is, generally provide access points when
referencing related works and expressions, and structured or unstructured descriptions when
referencing related manifestations and items. Identifiers are not used to express such
relationships in the current MARC environment.
24.5. Relationship Designator

which access points are given.
Best Practices for Music Cataloging version 1.0, 2/21/14
86
Chapter 25. Related Work
25.0. Purpose and Scope
MLA recommendation: Generally follow LC-PCC PS for musical works. Optionally, give access
points for three or more related works (in the categories given) if deemed useful for
identification or access.
25.1. Related Work
MLA recommendation: Follow LC-PCC PS. In bibliographic records for compilations, give access
points for all works/expressions contained in the resource if feasible.
33
If giving access points
for some but not all works/expressions, give preference to those that are prominently named
and/or form a substantial part of the resource.
For other types of related works, generally give access points in the following common
situations, if feasible and readily ascertainable:
1) Literary or artistic work that formed the inspiration for a musical work (see LC-PCC PS
25.0)
2) Musical work upon which a derivative musical work is based (e.g., a work used as the
basis for a set of variations)
Alternatively, give structured or unstructured descriptions instead of, or in addition to the
access point(s).
34
33
It has historically not been regarded as feasible to follow this practice for genres outside of Western art music.
34
This guideline generally pertains to bibliographic records; however, these methods may also be employed in
authority records for works.

Discussion
The medium of performance, key, and number are considered to be part of the
title proper because the title is a type of composition (see RDA 2.3.2.8.1). Since
“Op. 20” is linguistically neutral, it has been included as part of the title proper.
For the parallel title proper, RDA 2.3.3.4 applies since a statement of medium of
performance, key, date of composition, and/or number is being treated as part
of the title proper and the statement is in more than one language. Even though
just the key is in multiple languages, it can be considered as a parallel title
proper.

In ISBD presentation, when more than one element within a single area is
recorded in two or more languages, the elements in the same language are given
together using appropriate preceding punctuation for each element within that
language. The subsequent language groups are preceded by space = space (see
ISBD Consolidated
36
A.3.2.9). The statement of responsibility is recorded after all
the parallel data because it has no other language forms (see ISBD Consolidated
1.4.5.10.3). For the parallel title proper of series, “Philharmonia” is repeated
because it is intended to be read more than once (see RDA 1.7.7).

follow all the parallel titles since it is not possible or would be difficult to put the
statements of responsibility with each corresponding title grouping (see ISBD

Discussion
In general, ISBD favors that languages are grouped together when there is
parallel data across elements within the same area (see ISBD Consolidated
A.3.2.9). It appears that one could group the German language elements of the
title proper and other title information together, followed by the English titles.
However the presence of “BWV 128” presents a problem since it has no parallel
form. Should it follow after all the parallel title statements, but before the
statement of responsibility or should it be given after the parallel title proper,
but before the other title information in German, which would then be followed
by the other title information in English? Unfortunately ISBD is silent on this
specific situation. However, RDA 2.3.4.3 does say that “if more than one element
of other title information is recorded, it should be recorded in the order
indicated by the sequence, layout, or typography of the elements on the source
of information.This provides enough justification to place “Kantate zum Fest
Christi Himmelfahrt für Soli (ATB), Chor (SATB), 2 Oboen, Oboe d'amore, Oboe da
caccia, Trompete, 2 Hrner, 2 Violinen, Viola und Basso continuodirectly after
“BWV 128,” thus separating the presentation of the title proper and parallel title
proper from the other title and other parallel title information.
