"To orchestrate is to create, and this cannot be taught," wrote Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, the great Russian composer whose genius for brilliant, highly colored orchestration is unsurpassed.

Principles of Orchestration
By Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov
Edited by Maximilian Steinberg
English translation by Edward Agate
