The Orchestral Revolution: Haydn and the Technologies of Timbre
Dolan, Emily I. (University of Pennsylvania)
This book explores the relationship between the history of orchestration and the development of modern musical aesthetics in the Enlightenment. Using Haydn as a focal point, it examines how the consolidation of the modern orchestra radically altered how people listened to and thought about the expressive capacity of instruments.
