Description from the seller
Hector Berlioz - Grand Treatise on Modern Instrumentation and Orchestration
Éditions Henri Lemoine 1855.
Among Berlioz's works, the Grand Treatise on Modern Instrumentation and Orchestration is one of the most important, and its influence was the most enduring.
Highly noted and studied during the composer's lifetime and after his death, it marks a milestone in the history of the orchestra, and despite all the technical improvements that have occurred since, especially concerning wind instruments and brass, it still retains much of its value today.
It is also a valuable document on the orchestral practices of Berlioz's era and furthermore provides a commentary on the composer's instrumentation.
Reasonable condition, interior in good condition but fragile binding, some pages are detaching (binding needs to be redone).
