Having at least completed my Collected Works project in rough draft form, I've been told to move onto another list on Harrassowitz's online catalog: Monuments of Music from Europe. Initially, I was pleased to note that this list is substantially shorter than the previous project -- but don't worry, this seems even harder after delving into the first round of checks.
Instead of having every volume written by the same author (or attributed to one composer) all of the monuments have each volume attributed to a DIFFERENT author. This means that if a monograph is not cataloged with a series title, I literally have to go down the list one by one and check every individual title. And if you thought the Collected Works had a lot of volumes.. these monuments (the name says it all) are even worse (ranging from 100-200 volumes per collection).
This is going.. to take awhile.
