Score Reading and Orchestration 1
Please see Leonard Bernstein lecture page 1.(from the more... menu above) for his orchestration lectures!
Maestro Thomas Goss shares generously his experience of score reading and orchestration. This is not commonly available material online or otherwise, and I express my thanks to Mr. Goss for his obvious genius.
