I agree with Mr. Niethamer here, as did Marcellus. Bonade has interesting
musical ideas, but we cannot use them without at least consulting the
original markings first. There are also some wrong notes sprinkled around
this book.

<< Lacy - use Bonade to pick orchestral works you want to learn. Maybe a
teacher or friend can point you to the more important ones (Brahms 3 & 4,
Beethoven 4,6 & 8, for starters). Buy a part (Kalmus will often do
nicely), a score, and several good recordings (or borrow them from a
library).

With all due respect to Daniel Bonade (who taught most of the next
generation of American orchestral players, and designed a killer
ligature), there's a lot of editing of the excerpts in his book, and not
all of it is in accord with current American orchestral practice. Or
practice anywhere in the world for that matter. >>
