Description: Berlioz's Orchestration Treatise: A Translation and Commentary by Berlioz Berlioz Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Berlioz's Orchestration Treatise (1843) is a classic textbook by a master of the orchestra, which has not been available in English translation for over a century. This is a book by and about Berlioz, since it provides not only a new translation but also an extensive commentary on his text, dealing with the instruments of Berlioz's time and comparing his instruction with his practice. It is thus a study of the high craft of the most distinctive orchestrator of the nineteenth century. Publisher Description Berliozs Orchestration Treatise is a classic textbook which has been used as a guide to orchestration and as a source book for the understanding both of Berliozs music and of orchestral practice in the nineteenth century. This was the first English translation of Berliozs complete text since 1856, and it is accompanied throughout by Hugh Macdonalds extensive and authoritative commentary on the instruments of Berliozs time and on his own orchestral practice, as revealed in his scores. It also includes extracts from Berliozs writings on instruments in his Memoirs and in his many articles for the Parisian press. The Treatise has been highly valued both for its technical information about instruments but also for its poetic and visionary approach to the art of instrumentation. Berlioz was not only one of the great orchestrators of the nineteenth century, he was also the author with the clearest understanding of the art.
