Adato, Joseph, and George Judy, eds. The Percussionist's Dictionary. Miami, Fla.: Belwin Mills, 1984.
-
This dictionary allows the percussionist to translate foreign terminology and find descriptions of percussion instruments commonly used in Western music.
-
No explicit statement of coverage is made other than the authors have included terms and instruments commonly heard or used in Western music.
-
The reference source is organized into three sections: first, a listing of instruments; second, photographs accompanying the alphabetical listing; lastly, an alphabetical list of foreign terms and their translations. The first section alphabetically lists instruments and provides a brief description and the photograph number in the proceeding section. The second section alphabetically orders photographs according to title. The last section alphabetically lists terms and provides a direct translation. It concludes with a bibliography.
-
Precise, well-worded definitions. An excellent source of photographs.
