Clark, David Lindsey. Appraisals of Original Wind Music: A Survey and Guide. Music Reference Collection, no. 77. Westport, Connecticut; London: Greenwood Press, 1999.
-
Intended to draw attention to significant repertoire for wind instruments and to consolidate previously scattered biographical information.
-
Identifies chamber music works that include wind instruments and larger-scale works that feature a part for a concertante wind instrument. Includes titles no longer available in current publishers' catalogues. Arrangements are almost entirely excluded, except for certain transcriptions. Attempts to represent all countries whose composers have contributed interesting published material.
-
Titles are organized by performance categories and listed chronologically. Each category begins with a description of the performance medium, followed by recommendations from reviews in music periodicals, various types of musical literature, and the author's personal impressions. Also contains a bibliography, a list of music publishers and addresses, an index of composers, an instrumentation index, and a general index.
-
Chronological listing of titles provides a useful overall picture of the repertoire for each performance medium.
-
Format makes it difficult to scan quickly for information.
