This book proposes an approach to the orchestral writing of thirteen composers: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Berlioz, Wagner, Bruckner, Mahler, Rimsky-Korsakov, Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky. Excerpts of works are discussed from the point of view of the relationship between the keyboard reduction of an orchestral page (or its piano version) and its orchestral version. This is broken down into different stages: instrumentation of the main parts, linings, bottoms, special effects.
Indispensable to any student in orchestration and composition, this manual is also intended for students in musical analysis and all musicians and music lovers who are interested in the in-depth study of symphonic works
