Description
How do brass instruments sound like? Just loud? This cliché has always been associated with brass players. In the context of historically informed performance practice, however, this is only half the truth. Brass instruments used to stand for a powerful sound but compared to today they were much less loud. It is therefore a central concern of players and manufacturers of period replicas to gain insight into the sound of historical instruments. This volume brings together findings derived from technical methods, studies of materials history and musicological research, and also incorporates the field of instrument making, which likewise contributes to the sound of an instrument.
