Sinossi
Un libro che nasce dalla convinzione che l'orchestra non sia la semplice somma delle sue componenti, e che sia possibile individuare nelle partiture dei classici del diciannovesimo e ventesimo secolo, e in alcune delle più recenti esperienze, principi generali che possono essere utili, per non dire essenziali, alla formazione di ogni compositore, musicista o studioso di cose musicali. Attraverso più di ottocento esempi musicali solistici e orchestrali, decine di disegni, foto e tabelle e centinaia di indicazioni di approfondimento, Adler fornisce al lettore un'impressionante mole di informazioni e consigli, maturati nel corso di una lunga esperienza di composizione, insegnamento e direzione d'orchestra, e organizzati con studiata abilità didattica. Numerosi e approfonditi sono anche i riferimenti alla trascrizione per vari mezzi orchestrali, comprese le bande, e particolare attenzione è dedicata alla corretta presentazione grafica delle partiture. Una guida complessiva alla comprensione e all'utilizzo dello "strumento orchestra".

Recensioni
BE WARNED! Do not buy the International Students Edition of the book. WWNorton are, in my opinion, ripping people off who live outside of the US. I bought the book and that gave me access to the online audio materials for 360 days. After that, you need to purchase further access, but they wont let y Leggi tutto
This book is too dense for its own good. The entirety of this book could be summed in a very few short ideas, such as having an instrument play in its most pronounced register if you wish for it to stand out, have instruments you wish to be in the middle or background play in a less pronounced regis Leggi tutto
This book is comprehensive, but I can’t give it a higher rating because of some disturbing transposition errors. Adler would not make these. It has to be an editors mistake. However, they are present in a book about orchestration. I hop the next edition fixes this.
If you've rated this less than 5 stars you are a fool
One reason I was willing to pay for this extremely expensive book was that the ad promised that "The Fourth Edition invites students to experience the instruments through online audio and video recordings and now offers more coverage of writing for band." note: NO INDICATION THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO P Leggi tutto
Perhaps the best comprehensive guide to instrumentation and orchestration that you will find. It is not so strong on writing for bands and wind orchestra, but is a great foundation for writing for symphony orchestra. I don't agree with how he divides the instruments into chapters, though - I feel it Leggi tutto
This book is a gamechanger for anyone diving into the art of orchestration. It's like having an orchestra at your fingertips. The book's detailed explanations and visual aids make it easy to grasp complex concepts. If you're into composing or arranging for orchestras, this book is your secret weapon Leggi tutto
A reference book, essential and quite complete. It references quite often to rare scares that is quite impossibile to find. A dedicaed anthology with recordings would be ideal. At the moment one of the best book on the topic.
A brilliant introduction to orchestration
The best orchestration book I have ever read, and I have read many 🤓
