This is the story of the orchestra, from 16th-century string bands to the 'classical' orchestra of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Spitzer and Zaslaw document orchestral organisation, instrumentation, social roles, repertories, and performance practices in Europe and the American colonies, concluding around 1800.
