Reserve list.
Books and other reading material.
The literature on the Mozart operas is vast. What follows is a list of relevant books (monographs, collections of essays, reference guides) available in our library and on reserve for the course. Other books might exist that are not available in our library or not on reserve. Reference books and other reference material on the topic also exists, in our library, but is not listed here because it is part of the library's non-circulating reference collection. And I have not even begun to make a list of the numerous relevant articles in periodical journals; use RILM to search for these.
