A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

With the present volume the subject of Instrumentation is completed. After what was said in the preface to the first volume of this work, no lengthy remarks will be needful here. The first thing to be said is, that here, more than in any other volume of this series, it has been necessary to teach by example. It will be seen, therefore that the quotations from orchestral scores occupy a far larger portion of the space than the letterpress. Merely to talk about combinations of instruments, without giving actual illustrations, would have been absolutely useless to the student. As in the preceding volume, the passages selected iiave been taken from works of the most varied style, and of different periods, from the time of Haydn down to the present day. With the exception of two passages by Bach and Handel inC hapter VII., illustrating the employment of the organ, no examples have been quoted anterior to Haydn; for it is with this composer that the modern science of orchestration may be said to begin. Though a few well-known extracts will be found among the illustrations, special effort has been made to avoid, as far as possible, hackneyed quotations, and the author believes that the very large majority of the examples given will be new to the greater number of his readers. With a view of systematizing the teaching as far as possible, the stringed orchestra is first dealt with; this subject is comparatively so simple that its treatment presented but little difficulty. In the following chapter, the management of the wind instruments a much more complicated subject is spoken ofT odo anything like justice to this question, a large number of illustrations were absolutely necessary.
