APPENDIX IV. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BACH LITERATURE
The following list does not include magazine articles or technical works. A comprehensive bibliography, compiled by Max Schneider, will be found in the Bach-Jahrbuch for 1905 and 1910. Shorter lists are in C. F. Abdy Williams' Bach (1900) and Andre Pirro's J.-S. Bach (1906). Titles within square brackets in the following list are inserted upon the authority of the Bach-Jahrbuch, but are not discoverable in the annual Book Catalogues. Since the absence of an Italian section may be remarked, it should be said that the Catalogo generate della Libreria Italiana, 1847-1899 (published in 1910) contains no reference to Bach. Nor does the Supplement of 1912.
