Practical Instrumentation
Richard Hofmann
By means of this text-book the earnest student, who already has a thorough knowledge of harmony, may obtain an introduction to the orchestral instruments and their use singly or in combination, which by study and practise he can develop until be has every detail at his finger-ends After the lesson unfortunately all too often much slips the student's memory which the teacher believes he has thoroughly explained, and not the best memory nor the keenest zeal for learning protects the pupil from this That which is essential in the matter taught is quite differently impressed upon the memory when definite models are there in black and white before the eye, as in this book
As no stringed, wood, or brass instrument is in tone and character precisely the same from the lowest to the highest note of its compass, the quality of tone of the various registers of each instrument and their possibilities are here duly set forth Naturally what pertains chiefly to an exact study is avoided- this can only be gained from special books; and as words can give but a very limited idea of the sound of each instrument, the student is earnestly recommended to obtain for himself practical knowledge In order to accustom the ear to the various registers, it were well to allow them to be played before him by efficient instrumentalists This is more effectual than much verbal explanation!
