A Dictionary of Musical Terms by Theodore Baker is a compact and practical reference guide designed for musicians, students, and music lovers. First published in the late 19th century, it provides clear definitions and pronunciations of a wide range of musical terms from various languages, particularly Italian, German, and French, commonly used in scores and music theory. The dictionary covers terminology related to performance, composition, theory, and notation. Its concise entries make it especially useful for quick reference. Baker’s work helped standardize musical language for English-speaking audiences and remains a valuable resource in music education and performance settings.

Theodore Baker (1851–1934) was an American musicologist known for his pioneering research on Native American music, especially the Seneca tribe, which formed the basis of his 1882 dissertation. He studied in Leipzig and earned a doctorate in 1881. Upon returning to the U.S., he became literary editor at G. Schirmer (1892–1926), translating major music texts and contributing to Musical Quarterly. He authored Baker's Dictionary of Musical Terms and the influential Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians. After retirement, he moved to Leipzig for his wife's health. She died in 1934; Baker died shortly after in Dresden at age 83.
