A new Grove’s Dictionary of Music – the definitive music resource – is due out later this year. And it’s big: 25 million words, 29,000 articles, 20,000 biographies in 29 volumes (nine more than the previous 1980 edition). Some 6000 scholars in 98 countries contributed, and a staff of 60 at Macmillans in London has been laboring away to meet the publishing deadline. – The Age (Melbourne)
