The orchestra as a whole may be regarded as a single, great instrument possessing almost limitless musical possibilities. Through the courtesy and co-operation of artist members of the New York Philharmonic Society and the Metropolitan Opera House Orchestras it has been possible to illustrate not only the proper manner of holding the various instruments, but also to give a correct idea of their relative sizes-impossible when instruments alone are depicted.Ī few words concerning the orchestra as a musical unit may prove of interest. Its scope covers briefly the construction, tonal qualities, range, and special uses of each instrument, not in its solo capacity, but rather as part of the orchestral ensemble. It is designed to occupy a middle place between the profound technical treatise on the one hand and the insignificant handbook on the other.

The purpose of this little book is to supply such information as is really needful to the intelligent concert-goer. IN view of the rapidly increasing number of Symphony Orchestras throughout the country, and the consequent wide-spread interest in the better class of orchestral music, a demand has arisen among music-lovers and students for information concerning the instruments that constitute the modern symphony orchestra.
