Brass Instruments

This trilingual dictionary is aimed at all those who deal with brass instruments internationally. I have tried to take into account the terminology of various fields: Musicologists, museum curators, collectors, performers and other professionals, teachers and students; as well as instrument makers, translators and, last but not least, brass instrument enthusiasts and interested readers. It should be noted that this book is intended neither as a general encyclopedia nor as a trilingual music dictionary. Rather, it is a glossary in three languages containing the most important terms currently in use in the world of brass. Only where a keyword requires an explanation or the term is little known is a brief definition provided.
