MUSC286.002: Traveling Through Time on the Ivories Spring 2022: Citing and Writing

Citing and Formatting

For your final paper, you will need to cite your sources. Use either Chicago or MLA citation style and be CONSISTENT!

Examples from University of illinois of bibliographic (works list) citation formatting for music scores, recordings, streaming, Youtube, Spotify, podcasts, etc. in either Chicago or MLA style can be found here.

Example of liner notes in MLA citation style: 

Hentoff, Nan. Liner notes.The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. LP. Columbia, 1963.

To cite liner notes in Chicago style, if the notes are unsigned (that is, no author is indicated), simply add "Liner notes" to the end of the
citation of the recording. Signed notes may be cited by the author's name:

Milsom, John. Liner notes for The Art of the Netherlands, Early Music Consort of London, David Munrow. EMI Classics CMS 7642152, 1976, 1992, 2 compact discs.
