About this book
Louis Adolphe Coerne follows the growth of the orchestra and of scoring for it alongside the history of music. His preface says the aim is not a manual of instrumentation but an account of the forces that drove change, with attention to the nineteenth century, and he notes the lack of any such history in English.
The chapters run through three parts: early instrumental music and the beginnings of orchestration, the age of Bach, Händel, Gluck, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and Romanticism, ending with chapters on France and Italy, Hungary and Bohemia, Scandinavia and Russia, and England and America. An appendix of musical examples closes the book, which came out in Boston in 1908.
