Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart (MGG) is the largest and most comprehensive German music encyclopedia, and as a Western music reference source is comparable only to the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians in size and scope. It is published by Bärenreiter and Metzler.
The 1994 edition is comprised of 21 volumes, of which nine are subjects and 12 are biographies. The current second edition consists of a subject encyclopedia in ten volumes and a biographical encyclopedia in 17 volumes, of which only 14 are available as of late 2005.
