Further tips
top with a number – Notes = footnotes at the bottom of a page
bottom without a number – Bibliography = at the end of the paper
You may wish to note that the author’s name is inverted in the Bibliography but not in the footnotes. Recordings and Video Recordings are usually listed in a separate discography and videography respectively, rather than in a bibliography.
In the Bibliography, Discography and Videography, all entries are arranged alphabetically by the last name of the author, composer, performers or title.

Remark fromThe Chicago manual of style. 2010.
14.276 Musical recordings. Symphony or sonata, for example, is capitalized when part of the title of a recording. If the conductor or performer is the focus of the recording or is more relevant to the discussion than the composer, either one may be listed first. For the date, include the date of the recording, the copyright date or published date included with the recording, or both. If a date cannot be determined from the recording, consult a library catalog or other source; citations without a date are generally unacceptable. If no date can be found, use “n.d.” (for no date).
