<div dir="ltr">Hi Deborah,<div><br></div><div>This is a well-known publication from an extremely well-known music publisher. I would not consider option 3. I'm not up on the bibliographic history of Apollo's Banquet, but I wonder if you could determine the edition that you have. That would enable you to determine what should be in the title page transcription. At least in OCLC, none of the editions begin with the words "A tutor for the violin" but rather with the title "Apollo's banquet."</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking of which, I would use option 2 - putting the 245 in square brackets, with ample 500s explaining the lack of title page and my justification for choosing or not choosing a specific edition.</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Bob Kosovsky, Ph.D. -- Librarian, Rare Books and Manuscripts,<br>Music & Recorded Sound Division </div><div>The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts - <span style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;white-space:pre-wrap">Dorothy and Lewis B.
