I ran into this problem a couple of decades ago, when I was still doing music reviews. IIRC I never hit upon a perfect solution (actually, I think I had frames, which never, never again!) so I'm always curious how other people will solve review sites.
I have already discarded the idea of iframes. I am, however, contemplating that writing scripts to do boring things like assemble pages the way I want them is something I can do. So, having a master file in xml or csv and then using that as the basis of building pages. So, for example, If I have a column for 'primary author name' and then can generate pages for sets of letters (eventually some letters will have own pages, but, say i-j might only have five between them and that is fine for one page). Similarly, I can have a separate page for the awards, whereby I have columns of year, category, award, work, and then those can be used to assemble the relevant pages. I don't know if I have the web based knowledge to get suitable filters, but I do have the back end ability to just generate All! The! Pages! algorithmically, and assume that I've got it right.
And then I'm going to have to find a show/hide that works. But that is not for now.
