For its time the most comprehensive treatment of the subject." — New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians
Before
the 17th century, composers seldom indicated in their music whether the
composition was to be performed by a particular combination of voices
or instruments. Then in 1607 Monteverdi made a well-known suggestion for
the orchestration of his opera Orfeo.
And as the Baroque era unfolded, the concept of orchestrations began to
evolve, achieving a notable clarity and the acceptance of a keyboard
instrument as an integral part of the ensemble.
Toward the middle of
the 18th century, stylistic changes in instrumental music, e.g. styles
that emphasized a single melodic line, directly affected methods of
orchestration; while in the 19th century, orchestrations became an ever
more vital factor in the composer's technique, a stylistic determinant
that places a wealth of possibilities at his disposal. Finally, in the
early 18th century, increasing awareness of the importance of internal
balance, certain ideals of blended sound, and firmly established
instrumental characteristics enabled orchestration to take its place as
an academic discipline beside harmony and counterpoint.
In this
classic manual, a noted English composer describes 57 orchestral
instruments (ca. 1914) tracing their origins, development, and status at
the beginning of World War I. Not only are the history and evolution of
each instrument fully discussed, the author also explores the
techniques of each instrument, as well as players' impressions about
what they must play. The result is an unparalleled insight into the
inner working of an orchestra — a vivid impression of what it is like to
be a violinist, clarinetist, trombonist, or other orchestral player.
While
there have been numerous developments in instrumental technique on an
individual basis since the book's first publication, most of what
Forsyth says is still valid. Writing with wit, grace, and good sense,
Forsyth created a formidably thorough, comprehensive, and informative
text that has instructed and influenced generations of composers,
conductors, musicians, and musicologists.
