Listing Abbreviations

In our lists we use abbreviations common to most of our customers. Beside there is an easy code expressing any musical work´s category.

Combined with the number of players the category becomes clear: W5 means a wind-quintet, V4 a string-quartet, V3 A string-trio, VSoP a Sonata for Violin and Piano etc... You couldn´t abbreviate the Beethoven -Tripelkonzert more precisely - VVcPK - though we feel close to the limits of the system here. Try the second Brandenburg...
