| Abstract: |
The main focus of the article is a review and discussion of recent and historical works related to musical instruments, ethnomusicology, and orchestration. It highlights *Enduring Rhythms: Essays in Honor of J. Kenneth Moore*, a 2024 collection of essays exploring diverse global musical traditions and instruments, reflecting Moore’s influential curatorship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The volume emphasizes cultural context, museum practices, and the challenges of classifying instruments across cultures. Additionally, the article introduces newly edited and translated editions of François-Auguste Gevaert’s treatises on instrumentation and orchestration, noting Gevaert’s significant 19th-century contributions to music pedagogy and historical scholarship. Together, these works offer valuable insights into the study of musical instruments within their cultural, historical, and technical frameworks. [Extracted from the article] |
