New content includes practical scoring advice for composers and reference charts for fingerings and chords. In the orchestration section, the book systematically analyses score excerpts of various Chinese orchestra pieces spanning the last 60 years, highlighting examples of orchestration. Composers can pick up useful techniques while scholars and enthusiasts can appreciate how Chinese instruments work together in an orchestra.
