Ressources for composers, orchestrators & instrumentalists

Questions I ask myself, questions I hear, common preconceptions...

... whether on the operation of an instrument,

 instrumental techniques and their writing, the perception of a sound phenomenon...

... we can not practice the demanding art wich music is

on weak technical bases!

I offer here various files that I hope will answer some of your questions. If they do not, do not hesitate to contact to me!

These ressources  are freely accessible thanks to the participation of many contributors, who by their contribution in knowledge, equipment or their instrumental participation gave these ressources a quality that I could not reach alone, a big thank-you to all of them!
