CD Liner notes are also useful for this! 

• Check for these with CDs or in the Naxos Music Library or Classical Music Library streaming audio databases
  • Find CDs by searching for your piece at lib.umn.edu and limit your results to “Available on shelf” and “Audio,” and ask for the call number you need at the Music Library circulation desk!
