Not quite two decades ago, western musicology took a notable step forward with the advent in 2001 of GroveMusic, the online version of I The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians i , 2nd ed. (NGD2).[1] That electronic manifestation of the seventh iteration of English-language musicology's most venerable reference work was not without its problems, however, as Lenore Coral's review of GroveMusic trenchantly observed.[2] Chief among the online version's many glitches were a range of issues related to searching for information within the new, amorphous format of a web site. Opera scholars, in particular, now had electronic access to more extensive and focused articles about the theatrical music of composers who worked in multiple genres (and whose primary GMO articles thus surveyed their outputs more generally). Clearly, the OMO's taxonomy has forced the older article by Rose into a subsidiary position, where it can be accessed only U through u the newer Whittmann article. 2 Lenore Coral, review of GroveMusic, The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 2nd ed., and The New Grove Dictionary of Opera, Notes.
