Guide to the Catalogue of Chamber Works

►	Works are presented alphabetically by:
	1. first instrument listed in title
	2. title of work
Note:
►	Instruments of different ranges in the same family, are listed in the following manner:
	1. trombone
	2. trombone (bass)
	3. trombone (tenor)

*PRESENTATION OF TITLES*
►	Because instrumentation is used to organize the catalogues of instrumental and chamber works, titles including full instrumentation are used only:
	1. to clarify works of a similar title (e.g. sonatas and trios)
	2. to indicate original instrumentation when a work is listed using its alternative scoring

*MISCELLANEOUS*
►	Unless otherwise noted, "harp" indicates pedal (or concert) harp
►	When harp is cited as an alternative to the piano, it is always listed as a chamber work. When piano is used to substitute for the harp, it is listed as an instrumental work.
