Pictographic Score Notation : A Compendium Hardback

Description

This text provides the first comprehensive examination of pictographic notation.

Pictographic musical notation represents the relevant instruments themselves rendered visually rather than verbally.

Used most extensively in contemporary publications between the 1950s and 1980s, its popularity has waned in recent years.

This expertly researched work displays the resourcefulness and inventiveness of 20th century orchestrators. Providing a detailed examination of pictographic score notation, this unique book passes over 60 years of contemporary composition and score publications.

Divided into three sections, this work describes instrumental pictographs, stage diagrams, and pictographic performance directives.

In addition to the thoroughly researched information and extensive technique illustrations, commentary on individual examples and frequent cross-referencing of related examples, differentiate this work from other journal articles and notation texts.
