Orchestration Cecil Forsyth 9780342611706 Books

Don't waste your money on this edition which is basically a scam. The first page where the copyright is explains how they saved money by making digital copies of the original manuscript without doing any editing. Therefore, this book is full of typos and THERE ARE NO ILLUSTRATIONS OR MUSICAL EXAMPLES. Then they try to solicit more business by saying if you want to read the original version you have to join a website where you can join on a "trial basis." Although the original edition had plenty of examples of musical scores to study, this edition merely omitted all illustrations in the name of saving the consumer a few bucks. The text accompanying each example is still there but if you want to know what they're talking about you'll have to go find the original scores yourself. Do yourself a favor and buy the original version at your local bookstore where you can see what you're getting before you buy it.

Orchestration Cecil Forsyth 9780342611706 Books Reviews

You can get a legal copy of this book as a GOOGLE EBOOK, just do a Google search.. I have this book on my iPad 2 and read it with an app called 'Google Books'. A little bit of Google goes a long way!
Please note that this is a review of the 'General Books' edition of this work only.

Cecil Forsyth, (or 'FORKYTH' as this edition would have it), may indeed have written an eminently usable book, but this edition is anything but that. It is apparently a raw OCR copy of an earlier edition, including headings such as the following "ITiii, 3. MODEKN OUOKKSTIIAI, VALVK-HuuN" (at 63). While most of the text has not been quite as badly garbled, they layout (it is not visually apparent where one chapter or section begins or ends, what is a chapter heading vs example text, etc), makes it impossible to locate specific information and very difficult to read.

If you want this book, spend the extra money buying an edition upon which a modicum of editorial effort has been exercised.
the book is remade by robots and it's full of typos. you can make out the words, but its still a rip off. look into how the book is being made before you buy.
This is a good introductory book for an Orchestration class. If I were to pick up this book at a store and try to learn this subject without an instructor, I believe I would not succeed. Although I am in college, I still had to look up words in the dictionary to find their meaning and put them into context, which resulted in a delay in comprehension. Despite these things, I still believe that Cecil Forsyth has compiled a great amount of knowledge about Orchestration in this book. I have not viewed similar books to compare, but I might someday if I get the chance.
