""A Treatise Upon Modern Instrumentation And Orchestration"" is a comprehensive guide to the art of orchestration, written by French composer Hector Berlioz. Originally published in 1844, this book is considered a seminal work in the field of music theory and composition. Berlioz provides detailed descriptions of the various instruments used in orchestras, including their ranges, timbres, and expressive capabilities. He also discusses the principles of orchestration, such as balance, texture, and harmony, and provides numerous examples from his own works to illustrate these concepts. The book is divided into two parts: the first covers the individual instruments and their characteristics, while the second focuses on the art of combining them into a cohesive whole. Berlioz's writing is clear and concise, making this book an invaluable resource for composers, conductors, and music enthusiasts alike.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1856 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
