The Study of Orchestration. Workbook

Tercera edición

The workbook reviews and reinforces the techniques discussed in each chapter of the text. It includes graded self-tests about each choir of the orchestra, as well as worksheets on special topics. The new edition features a broader array of "Listen and Score" exercises as well as opportunities for students to practice reducing orchestral scores to piano scores.

The Workbook contains the following helpful exercises and activities:
-"Test Yourself" sections made up of short-answer questions that review factual information concerning the individual choirs of the orchestra.
-"Worksheets" on scoring and transcription, arranged in increasing order of difficulty and representing a highly diversified range of possible combinations.
-"Listen and score" exercises in orchestral ear training designed to enable the orchestrator to notate any timbral combination.
