Editorial Reviews
From the Author
I wrote this book to as a composer's handbook, containing all the reference material I would want for composition. It is currently used as a textbook for college level composition and theory classes. The techniques shown in the book are illustrated with hundreds of examples, all drawn in my own manuscript.

Music notation, instrumentation, and theory -- all in one book,
By
This review is from: Preparing Traditional Music Manuscript: Including a Handbook of Instrumentation, Theory, and Musical Terms (Paperback)
Mohn's treatise is perhaps dated by the fact that it was prepared just prior to the advent of good desktop music notation software. Notation information is relatively basic, but is a good start for the copyist preparing a score by hand. More thorough explorations of the niceties of engraving music can be found in other texts. The book's true value is as a reference text for music composition and theory, and makes a real contribution to the amateur engraver's library in that respect.
