Finding Audio Recordings in Parsons Music Library
Tips for finding audio recordings by using OneSearch
- First, select "Audio" from the left dropdown (circled in blue below)
- Enter as much information in the search box as you know (title, composer, etc). If nothing comes up, try removing one or more keywords.
- If you're looking for a specific song, select "that contain the exact phrase" from the middle dropdown (circled in red above).
- If you're looking for a piece with a generic title ("Symphony," "Sonata," Concerto," etc.), try entering the composer's last name and the genre in plural ("Symphonies," "Sonatas," "Concertos," etc)
