The Timpani with Supplement
This item comprises The Timpani (PP 487) and its Supplement (PP616) as a set.
The Timpani
This volume represents a unique iconographical and documentary history of the timpani. Combining a wealth of pictorial material with extensive written sources, it offers a rich and comprehensive survey of the instrument's history from the middle ages to the present. And in so doing it fills a gap of long standing in the published literature of kettledrums by providing for the first time a combination of visual and descriptive evidence. Presented here is a wide-ranging pictorial lode drawn from a variety of sources-for example, astronomical clocks with their instrumental automata; paintings; baroque organ cases topped by angel-musicians;engravings from books describing court festivals; prints...
The Timpani Supplement
The timpani supplement: More Pictures and Documents is an extraordinary and unparalleled resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of the timpani. It contains a comprehensive collection of historical photos as well as detailed accounts that provide the reader with interesting past and present performance practices about the timpani from its first appearance to the present day.
