Excerpt from Practical Instrumentation: For School, Popular, and Symphony Orchestras; A Treatise
The articles which are here presented in book-form were originally printed in the musical courier between January and June, 1923. It is necessary to establish the date, and will become more so as time goes on, because of the rapidly changing character of the American popular orchestra. The state ments that are here made about popular instrumentation are true to-day; they were only partially true ten years ago; and they may not be true ten years from now. Our popular orchestras may, and probably will, continue to change, leaning more or less in the direction of wood or strings, or brass, or saxophones.
