Features: Learning orchestration requires first mastering knowledge of Western instruments. This book does not provide a detailed explanation of instrumental techniques but briefly introduces them, partly due to space constraints and partly because many technical instrumental technique books have already been published for reference. Learning orchestration is not enough just by reading a few books; it requires hands-on composition of numerous scores and frequent listening to actual band performances. Carefully studying and analyzing the scores of famous works, observing the treatment of each instrument and each voice, will yield great benefits.
