Adler

It's here!

I will take advantage of this discussion to learn your impressions regarding this method versus texts like the Mortari one.

Regarding Adler, I also have the English version with the relative audio CDs (actually, I made a single CD with the mp3s). 10 to 0 against Mortari, obviously, because besides being more up-to-date, it has a collection of musical examples (audio and video) that make you understand by hearing and seeing.

I would add that, since you are having the pleasure of appreciating Leibowitz thanks to the commitment of good AleGozzo, I feel compelled to mention good Kent Wheeler Kennan and Piston: Orchestration.

These are 3 different approaches which, when combined with each other and with the completeness (and complexity) of Adler, one can truly manage to exhaust the subject matter.

Thanks!

I don't know even one of the mentioned methods (except for Mortari, whom I have heard mentioned)

I am pointing out a very interesting website on orchestration that works a bit like a mini-Adler with videos, listening examples, and score excerpts: http://andrewhugill.com/manuals/intro.html
