The first part discusses the principles of orchestration, including the range, timbre, and character of different instruments, as well as the techniques of scoring for different sections of the orchestra. The second part is a practical guide to the orchestration of specific musical forms, such as symphonies, concertos, and operas. Throughout the book, Widor provides numerous examples from the works of classical composers, as well as his own compositions, to illustrate his points. He also includes detailed diagrams and tables to help readers understand the technical aspects of orchestration.
