A thorough overview and history of chamber music

A collection of pieces for two Cellos, written by Samuel Applebaum.

Wind chamber music has become an important part of the contemporary wind band program during the past half century, and now a most complete reference text has been written to provide any and all necessary information concerning repertoire. Winther lists over 500 works by instrumentation and provides guidance on timings, difficulty level, publisher sources, available recordings and his own insight into rehearsing and programming each individual work. This book will soon be required reading for every wind conductor and performer!
