About this book
W. J. Henderson wrote The Orchestra and Orchestral Music. A passage says the orchestra is an instrument, and composers have developed methods of writing for it. A passage quotes Berlioz, in his treatise on instrumentation, saying of the viola that it has been long neglected, or put to a use as unimportant as ineffectual. The text says Haydn’s symphonic scores show skill coupled with restraint in the viola parts.
A passage says that, in a general manner, the first combinations of instruments were without special purpose. The text says that for several centuries the whole labor of artistic composers was directed toward the production of unaccompanied church music. The text says harmonics can be produced on the harp and sound like the faint tinkle of a muffled glass bell.
