Since 2023, new acquisitions in the Central Library have been arranged according to the Regensburg Classification System (RVK). For this subject area, the classification numbers beginning with the letters LP–LY are particularly relevant.

You can find our other cataloging systems here: Reading Room of the Central Library, Textbook Collection, Musicology Library.

The search for sheet music editions for specific instrumentations at the School of Music location is done using the Advanced Search: Select the library "Humanities Library, location School of Music", determine the desired classification number in the cataloging system and search for it as a classification number with truncation (*), e.g.

"C 1 Beethoven*" for piano works by Ludwig van Beethoven or "D 10*" for compositions for organ alone; "L 2*" Literature for viola or "R 511*" sheet music for Big Band.
