The second edition (''Grove II''), in five volumes, was edited by Fuller Maitland and published from 1904 to 1910, this time as ''Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians''. The individual volumes of the second edition were reprinted many times. An ''American Supplement'' edited by Waldo Selden Pratt and Charles N. Boyd was published in 1920 in [[Philadelphia]] by [[Theodore Presser]].<ref name="history" /> This edition removed the first edition's beginning date of 1450,<ref>Grove II, vol. 1, p. vii.</ref> though important earlier composers and theorists are still missing from this edition.

An extra-large ''Supplementary Volume'' also edited by Colles was published in 1940 and called the fourth edition (''Grove IV'').<ref name="history" />{{NoteTag|For the 4th edition ''Supplementary Volume'' published in New York, see {{OCLC|248932279}}. For the 4th edition ''Supplementary Volume'' published in London, see {{OCLC|493270221}}.}} A reprint of the 3rd edition with some corrections, was released at the same time.

The fifth edition (''Grove V''), in nine volumes, was edited by [[Eric Blom]] and published in 1954. This was the most thoroughgoing revision of the work since its inception, with many articles rewritten in a more modern style and a large number of entirely new articles. Many of the articles were written by Blom personally, or translated by him. An additional ''Supplementary Volume'' prepared by Eric Blom and completed by [[Denis Stevens]] after Blom's death in 1959, was issued in 1961. The fifth edition was reprinted in 1966, 1968, 1970, 1973, and 1975,<ref>{{cite book |editor1-last=Blom |editor1-first=Eric |title=Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians |date=1975 |publisher=Macmillan |___location=London |isbn=9780333191743 |edition=5th (reprint)}}</ref> each time with numerous corrections, updates, and other small changes.<ref name="history" />

=== First edition ===
The next edition was published in 1980 under the name ''The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'' and was greatly expanded to 20 volumes with 22,500 articles and 16,500 biographies.<ref>Scott Kennedy, ''Reference Sources for Small and Medium-sized Libraries'' (1999) p. 216.</ref> Its senior editor was [[Stanley Sadie]] with [[Nigel Fortune]] also serving as one of the main editors for the publication.
It was reprinted with minor corrections each subsequent year until 1995, except 1982 and 1983. In the mid-1990s, the hardback set sold for about $2,300. A paperback edition was reprinted in 1995 which sold for $500.

===Spin-offs===
Some sections of ''The New Grove'' were also issued as small sets and individual books on particular topics. These typically were enhanced with expanded and updated material and included individual and grouped composer biographies,<ref name=oestreich20010121/> a four-volume dictionary of [[Music of the United States|American music]] (1984; revised 2013, 8 vols.),<ref>''The New Grove Dictionary of American Music'', 4 volumes, 1984. {{ISBN|978-0-333-37879-3}}; 2013 (8 volumes): {{ISBN|9780195314281}} .</ref> a three-volume dictionary of musical instruments (1984),<ref>''The New Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments'', 1984. {{ISBN|978-0-333-37878-6}}.</ref> a [[The New Grove Dictionary of Opera|four-volume dictionary of opera]] (1992),<ref>''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera'', 1992. {{ISBN|978-0-333-48552-1}}</ref> and a volume on women composers (1994).<ref>''The New Grove Dictionary of Women Composers'', 1994. {{ISBN|0-333-51598-6}}</ref>
=== Second edition ===
In 2001, the 2nd edition under this title (the 7th overall) was published, in 29 volumes. It was also made available by subscription on the Internet in a service called Grove Music Online.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.grovemusic.com/ |title=Grove Music Online |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516041031/http://www.grovemusic.com/ |archivedate=2008-05-16 }} (online version of the 2001 edition)</ref> It was again edited by [[Stanley Sadie]], and the executive editor was [[John Tyrrell (musicologist)|John Tyrrell]]. It was originally going to also be released on [[CD-ROM]], but this plan was dropped. As Sadie writes in the preface: "The biggest single expansion in the present edition has been in the coverage of 20th-century composers."{{fact|date=August 2025}}
This edition was subjected to some criticism owing to the significant number of typographical and factual errors that it contained,<ref>{{cite web |first=Michael |last=Lorenz |authorlink=Michael Lorenz (musicologist) |url=http://michaelorenz.blogspot.co.at/2013/04/franz-schubert-in-new-grove-dictionary.html |title=Franz Schubert |work=The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians |date=2013 |___location=Vienna }}</ref> but it also received some positive reviews.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=McMorrow |first1=Kathleen |title=The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Second Edition |journal=CAML Review |date=2001-11-01 |volume=29 |issue=3 |doi=10.25071/1708-6701.2951 |doi-access=free }}</ref> Two volumes were re-issued in corrected versions after production errors originally caused the omission of sections of [[Igor Stravinsky]]'s worklist and [[Richard Wagner]]'s bibliography.{{fact|date=August 2025}}

Publication of the 2nd edition of ''The New Grove'' was accompanied by a Web-based version, ''Grove Music Online''. It also attracted some initial criticism, such as for the way in which images were not incorporated into the text but kept separate.{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}

==Hoaxes
Two non-existent composers have appeared in the work:
'''Dag Henrik Esrum-Hellerup''' was the subject of a hoax entry in the 1980 ''New Grove''. Esrum-Hellerup's surname derives from a Danish village and a suburb of Copenhagen.<ref>[http://www.esrum-hellerup.dk/Hjemmeside/navnet.htm Foreign-language webpage showing the original dictionary entry]{{Unreliable source?|date=October 2009}} {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719122632/http://www.esrum-hellerup.dk/Hjemmeside/navnet.htm |date=19 July 2011 }}</ref> The writer of the entry was [[Robert Layton (musicologist)|Robert Layton]]. Though successfully introduced into the encyclopaedia, Esrum-Hellerup appeared in the first printing only: soon exposed as a hoax, the entry was removed and the space filled with an illustration.<ref name=oestreich20010121>{{cite news |first=James R. |last=Oestreich |date=21 January 2001 |title=Words on Music, 25 Million of Them |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/01/21/books/words-on-music-25-million-of-them.html |work=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=23 October 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |first1=Brian |last1=Levison |first2=Frances |last2=Farrer |chapter=How the Danes Discovered a New Composer |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mjsulsePxWUC&pg=PA40 |title=Classical Music's Strangest Concerts: Extraordinary But True Stories From Over Five Centuries of Harmony and Discord |publisher=Robson Books |___location=London |year=2007 |pages=40–43 |isbn=978-1-86105-938-3}}</ref> In 1983, the Danish organist Henry Palsmar founded an amateur choir, the Esrum-Hellerup Choir, along with several former pupils of the Song School, St. Annae Gymnasium in Copenhagen.<ref>[http://www.esrum-hellerup.dk/Hjemmeside/Koret.htm Foreign-language webpage for the Choir] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130825101429/http://www.esrum-hellerup.dk/Hjemmeside/Koret.htm |date=25 August 2013 }}</ref>
'''Guglielmo Baldini''' was the name of a non-existent composer who was the subject of a hoax entry in the 1980 edition. Unlike Esrum-Hellerup, Baldini was not a modern creation: his name and biography were in fact created almost a century earlier by the German musicologist [[Hugo Riemann]]. The ''New Grove'' entry on Baldini was supported by a fictional reference in the form of an article supposedly in the ''Archiv für Freiburger Diözesan Geschichte''. Though successfully introduced into the encyclopaedia, Baldini appeared in the first printing only: soon exposed as a hoax, the entry was removed.<ref name=oestreich20010121/>
Seven [[parody]] entries, written by contributors to the 1980 edition, and full of musical puns and dictionary [[in-joke]]s, were published in the February 1981 issue of ''[[The Musical Times]]'' (which was also edited by Stanley Sadie at the time).<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Granato |first1=Riccardo |last2=Horing |first2=Hardov |last3=Ringaid |first3=E.

* '''[[Knees Up Mother Brown|Brown, "Mother" (Mary)]]''' (''b.'' 1550; ''d.'' Wapping, 3 January 1611)
* '''Ear-flute'''
* '''[[Pied Piper of Hamelin|Hameln]]''' [Hamelin]
* '''[[Genghis Khan|Khan't, Genghis]] ([[Tamurlane|Tamburlaine]])''' (''b.'' Ulan Bator, c. 1880; ''d.'' New York, 22 November 1980)
* '''Stainglit (Nevers), Sait d'Ail''' (''[[Floruit|fl]]'' Middle Ages) – i.e. "Stanley Sadie", following the [[Mots d'Heures|example]] of [[Luis van Rooten]]
* '''[[Toblerone]]'''
* '''[[Giuseppe Verdi|Verdi]], [[Lasagne]]''' ['Il Bolognese'] (''b.'' Bologna, 10 October 1813; ''d.'' Naples, 15 March 1867)
