In his Preface to the Revised Edition, Upton writes, "The spirit and intent of the original plan have been little (if at all) changed. Its outward form, however, has been considerably altered-- notably through the addition of numerous indexes, by means of which it is hoped that the mass of material forming the main body of the work may become more easily accessible, and that each item, in turn, instead of forming an isolated unit, may find itself fitted into the general scheme of its own time and place. / In pursuance of this plan the bibliographical section remains as Sonneck had it, except that its non-musical material 9such as essays, articles, books, etc.) has been placed elsewhere... The emphasis remains where Sonneck so definitely placed it-- on the actual printed music. in this field-- the foundation of the whole work-- surprisingly large gains have been made."
