About this book
Instruments of the symphony orchestra are described one by one, from the violin to the pianoforte, in Esther Singleton's 1917 guide for music-lovers and young students. Chapters cover the strings, woodwind, brass and percussion, then the orchestra as a whole, the conductor, the harp and the piano. The preface singles out Lully's orchestra and the Twenty-Four Violins of the King, and argues that Lully was the first star conductor. The illustrations, among them the Hellier Stradivari, were all photographed for the book, many from rare volumes and old prints.
