John Baptist Cramer (1771-1858): A Thematic Catalogue of His Works

"To compile a thorough catalogue of Cramer's compositions requires the author to deal with two large bodies of source material: the manuscripts and printed copies of music found in various libraries throughout Europe and America, and the citations relating to the composer's works found in newspapers, music periodicals, and music bibliographies. The main task of the author of a thematic catalogue is to close the gap between the two sources: to locate copies of the actual music for a work named in citations, and, conversely, to find documentation relating to each item of printed or manuscript music." -Thomas B. Milligan (Preface)
