Elson's Music Dictionary by Louis Charles Elson is a comprehensive reference guide designed to assist musicians, students, and educators in understanding the terminology of modern music. It provides clear definitions and correct pronunciations of musical terms, symbols, and signs commonly used in contemporary practice. The dictionary also includes a list of notable foreign composers and performers, as well as a concise English-Italian vocabulary of musical expressions. Serving both practical and educational purposes, this work aims to standardize musical language and enhance the reader's fluency in theoretical and performance contexts, making it a valuable tool for serious music learners.

Louis Charles Elson (1848–1920) was a versatile American music educator, critic, and historian whose extensive output advanced musical knowledge and appreciation. His practical guides—such as A Catechism of Music and pocket dictionaries—clarified theory, terminology, and notation for students and amateurs. Elson’s scholarly works, including Curiosities of Music and The History of American Music, explored music across cultures and charted the development of national traditions. He also highlighted composers via titles like Famous Composers and Their Works and enriched vocal studies with collections like Folk Songs of Many Nations. His writings combined educational clarity with cultural breadth, shaping early 20th-century music learning.
