ABSTRACT
This paper addresses three specific lacunae in music bibliography. The first, which has remained virtually ignored by all, concerns our lack of access to visual sources. The second, which is currently trying to address in many ways, is our failure to control primary source material in the 19th and 20th centuries. The third involves the lack of communication with our counterparts in the other performing arts, especially those in dance, theater, film, and in sound archives.
