Excerpt from Catechism of Orchestration: Introduction to Instrumentation

The Catechism of Musical Instruments, while dealing primarily with the compass, the technical possibilities, and the aesthetic effects of the single instruments, concerns itself also with the more important and usual combinations of instruments into special contrasting groups (strings, wood wind, brass), and makes occasional references to the rele these groups as well as the single instruments play in the Orchestra and the Ensemble. It is thus the sub title Guide to Instrumentation is justified. If, therefore, in the present little volume I give a special introduction to Instrumentation, a few explanatory remarks may be required.
