Synthesized answer
The provided passages detail the organization of *A Dictionary of Music and Musicians* edited by George Grove, showing its sequential, alphabetical arrangement through volume titles such as "A to Air" [2], "Airey to Andreoni" [2], "Harmonium to Hill" [1], and "Hiller to Impromptu" [1]. This method of division, like "A to IMPROMPTU," indicates a structured approach to categorizing musical knowledge.
However, the passages do not offer information beyond the physical organization of the dictionary's volumes. They do not reveal what this sequential, alphabetical organization reveals about the prevalent methods and priorities for structuring and disseminating musical knowledge in the early 20th century, beyond the basic principle of alphabetical order.
