description: The present volume is unique in that it summarizes and lists illustrations of hundreds of orchestral devices, thereby making it possible as never before for the student to survey the whole field of orchestration. It was a man-sized job, and it took Gardner Read's meticulous and persistent mind, and his composer's intimate knowledge of the orchestra and its potentialities, to carry it out successfully.
