A Catalogue of the Shaw-Hellier Collection in the Music Library, Barber Institute of Fine Arts, the University of Birmington

This volume catalogues the 860 items which comprise the Shaw-Hellier music collection now housed in the Music Library of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham. A foreword by Percy Young outlines the musical activities of the Worcestershire landowner, Samuel Hellier who began the collection in the middle of the 18th century. The collection includes sonatas by Corelli and Geminiani, and dances by Arnes and Bach, as well as less commonly found works such as the Chinzer symphonies and the complete published works of William Felton.
