This review is from: Writing For The Orchestra: An Introduction To Orchestration (Paperback)
This book on orchestration is very well done. I have gone to it many times. It has some unique touches in the book in regards to suggestions to beginning composers that help get the imagination going. It is unique in other areas such as how long can a certain player hold a note for a given instrument. Gives an insight into the amount of breath that the instrument requires. Has special techniques for each instrument as well. Warns you of using them that will damage an instrument or that are difficult technically. Full of hints like this. Also gets into notational issues where needed. Its a good thorough book written by someone who has been in the orchestra his entire adult life as a composer, conductor and primarily a principle violinist. Recommend it.
