Guide to the Library of Congress
Music Scores Classification

Scores in the UNLV Music Library are arranged on the shelves using the Library of Congress music classification system. Call numbers for scores begin with the letter M or (in the case of studies, exercises and methods) the letters MT. The "MT" classification also includes books about music theory, instrumentation, etc.; the list below includes only those "MT" call numbers that are scores. You can browse the call number list below, or use the alphabetical index to locate call numbers for the most heavily used areas. A Brief Guide to the M range of call numbers is also available.

Note: These are by no means all of the Library of Congress music call numbers in current use; many numbers (for example, for "saxhorn music") have been omitted here for brevity. Also, just because a number is listed here does not necessarily guarantee that the UNLV Music Library has holdings in that area.

Clicking on a highlighted link will take you to that call number in the Library Catalog, in a separate browser window. In the case of a range of numbers (such as M2000-2007) you will only be taken to the first number in the range. Once you call up a specific record, you can continue to browse forward or backward using the "Next Record" and "Previous Record" buttons at the top and bottom of the pages.
