Eighth Concert Eleventh Annual Chamber Arts Series Complete Programs 3879 The princely elements in early music are easier to isolate than the popular ones. Especially in mediaeval times the music of the lower classes of society was a mixture of oral tradition, memory and improvisation, just as it is today in countries such as Turkey, Greece or the Balkans. The folk musicians of these countries are generally virtuoso performers and much can be learnt from them. Mediaeval dance music was essentially a solo business. An itinerant jongleur or meruistrel had to be ahle to give a convincing solo act: the best instruments for the purpose were those which provided their own drone accompaniment.

Cuvântul-titlu indică numele instrumentului, însoţit de sinonime şi de corespondentul său în cel puţin 5 limbi: italiana, franceza, germana, engleza, spaniola etc. În cazul instrumentelor exotice, de provenienţă extraeuropeană, am respectat echivalenţa relativă a sistemelor de transliterare a grafiei latine adoptate de publicaţiile de specialitate cercetate. Conceptul general al lucrării se bazează pe descrierea şi istoricul instrumentului, repere minime de instrumentaţie, notaţie muzicală, întindere scrisă diatonică sau cromatică, efectul sonor real (în cazul instrumentelor transpozitorii), limite optime de folosire, structura fiecărei partide de instrumente din orchestra simfonică. Fiecare articol a fost redactat şi extins după caz, respectând cu rigurozitate o schemă-tip de desfăşurare. Am inclus muzicieni interpreţi din România, din muzica cultă, populară, uşoară şi de jazz, dintre cei cu o activitate artistică de prestigiu, naţională şi internaţională. La sfârşitul lucrării se află o bibliografie selectivă şi un cuprinzător index de nume de persoane.
