I have various lists for German musical terms, but nothing that is consolidated and easy to use. Can anyone recommend a single source (book, online, etc.) that will covers most terms?
(Yes, I'm working through a Mahler score. But, I would like something that covers more than Mahler and possibly more than German)

Friend of mine wrote an app available on iTunes. It's called "Mahler translations". Here's a link to his website:

How about a German-English dictionary. Possibly even one found online.
