Description
by Francois-Auguste Gevaert (Author), Davis Brown (Translator), Peter Solomon Gross (Editor)
François-Auguste Gevaert (1828-1908) was Director of the Brussels Royal Conservatory, a Prix de Rome winner, a prolific author on music history and theory, and a successful composer of light opera. His 1890 Methodical Course in Orchestration, together with his previous volume on instrumentation, was hailed as "by far the finest book on the subject ever written" and garnered the admiration of contemporaries such as Tchaikovsky, Humperdinck, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Richard Strauss. Gevaert's Methodical Course in Orchestration is presented here for the first time in English. In addition, for the first time, the book includes links to audio recordings of over 400 music examples.
