Los Instrumentos Musicales en el Mundo by François-René Tranchefort, Carmen Hernández Molero (traductora) Book description La importancia dada a las civilizaciones extra-europeas, relegadas hasta hace poco al ámbito de la etnomusicología, y el rechazo de la segregación de la música «popular» respecto a la música «culta» permiten conceder el debido espacio a los instrumentos primitivos, tradicionales y folklóricos.

The Oxford Companion to Musical Instruments by Anthony Baines Book description Anthony C. Baines provides a comprehensive guide to the astonishing variety of Western and non-Western musical instruments. Each entry in this lavishly illustrated book offers a concise description of the instrument, as well as a wealth of information on such subjects as playing techniques, harmonics and circular breathing, the sound of an instrument, acoustics, pitch, an instrument's use within the orchestral repertoire or, for ethnomusicological instruments, within ritual, and significant developments in its history. Baines covers a vast array of instruments, from the common cowbell, to the Red-hot fountain pen (a novelty instrument of the 1930s), to the Celtic harp. About the Author Anthony Baines is the retired Curator of the Bate Collection of Historical Instruments in the University of Oxford. The author of several books and articles on instruments, he co-founded the Galpin Society, formed in 1946 to promote the study of musical instruments, and edited its journal 1956-63, and from 1971. : 416 pages.
