Furtherchapters give specialist advice to keyboard players, string players, wind players and singers. The contributors are all musicans with both scholarly expertise and practical experience – including several leading performers. The text is illustrated with music examples, facsimiles and pictures, and in sound by a full-length CD of excerpts from a wide range of recordings.
