The second half of the twentieth century saw vast changes in all
aspects of percussion - the instruments themselves, playing
techniques, and percussion writing - plus the huge influence of pop
music, jazz, and film scores. Additionally, the revolution in
travel and communications has meant that composers have become much
more aware of a seemingly endless variety of ethnic instruments
from around the world. Holland aims to show the world of percussion
as it is today, and to answer some common questions about it.
Today's professional players frequently find themselves performing
in many countries where the availability of percussion instruments
can vary widely. Practical Percussion contains a section on
manufacturers and suppliers all over the world. In addition to this
list of manufacturers, the percussion requirements - both
instruments and players - for some 1500 works are also listed. The
foreword by Pierre Boulez further assists the reader in
appreciating and understanding the richness, variety, and function
of percussion instruments the world over.
