About This Book
This illustrated guide introduces the symphony orchestra and its instruments, describing each family and individual instrument in accessible detail. Chapters survey violin, viola, violoncello, double-bass, woodwinds, brass, percussion, harp and pianoforte while combining technical descriptions, historical notes and profiles of notable makers and performers. It traces early orchestral origins and practices, including seventeenth-century ensembles and Lully’s role, examines ensemble organization and the conductor’s functions, and highlights construction, playing techniques and timbral roles. Period engravings and specially photographed instruments supplement the text to bring organology and orchestral practice to informed listeners and students.
