Simple search
| Composer | Haydn | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Work | Schopfung | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Performer | Chor |
Recordings of ‘Die Schöpfung’ will be found even though the accent and the first word have not been specified. The German word ‘Chor’ has been used (for ‘Choir’) in order to find recordings by German performers. Searching on ‘Die Schöpfung’, however, will not find recordings of the same work with its English title, ‘The Creation’.

| (catalogue:german OR catalogue:french) AND composer:Schubert AND year:1928 |
Finds all Schubert recordings in the French and German HMV catalogues made in the composer’s centenary year. Note that without the parentheses the search will find only the French catalogue entries because in Boolean logic all the ANDs are processed before the OR. Note also that with AND in place of OR the search will find nothing, because no items are tagged in the database as belonging to both the German and French catalogues.
| composer:Schm?t |
Finds works by Schmidt and Schmitt. Composer:schmi*t, however, would find those and also Schmit. Composer:schmi* will add Schmid, but also Schmidseder and others. For Schmid, Schmidt, Schmit and Schmitt it is necessary to enter either composer:Schmi*t OR composer:Schmid, or alternatively composer:Schmi? OR composer:schmi?t.
