有詳細介紹關於不同音色的彈奏法

整理表格如下：

Instruments		Sound
String ✎ Various kinds of bowing	Strings Cellos and Double basses Muted strings	Wide, variable dynamic range Legato supported by pedal vibrations Need time to unfold sound Soft-pedaling
Woodwind ✎ A distinct onset of the notes ✎ Clear articulation of each single note ✎ Narrow dynamic range ✎ Breathing	Oboe Clarinet Flute Bassoon	Rounded, hooked-under, bony fingers Vibrato (some pedal), but not blur Staccato is pushed lightly into the keys Dynamic range: p to mp Straight: sempre poco tenuto and quasi senza pedale Dynamic range: pp to poco f B-flat and A clarinets: Mezzoforte of dark, slightly veiled timbre, call for the sordino pedal and flexible wrists C and E-flat clarinets:unlyrical, shrill, grotesque, firm and hard fingers. Bass clarinets: grating sound (dynamic: mf) Stays in piano Round, mild, colorless and veiled (sordino pedal) Every note with the help of a separate arm movement Staccato should not be too well defined Low notes should sound pale Rarely a cantabile, and need the sordino Touch finger-staccato Dynamic range: mp to mf Bass bassoon: grating sound (dynamic: mf)
Brass ✎ Breathing	Horn Trumpet Trombone	The noble, full, somewhat veiled Demand a loose arm and a flexible wrist. Dynamic range: pp to f The sordino pedal should always be used Legato: ever note is put down separately and connected with its neighbors by pedal alone Staccato is never pointed In chord play, the upper voice must recede slightly in favors of the lower one. The blaring, braying sound The brilliance of which needs the aid of pedal Dynamics: poco f to fff Like horns, but without the sordino pedal In piano writing usually appear as octaves Brass chorales should be executed portato, with air between the chord
Harp		With round, tensed fingers: sempre poco staccato Within the sustained pedal In rapid, sharply ripped-off arpeggios, the finger-play is assisted by movements of the wrist The rhythmic and dynamic spacing of the notes needs the utmost control Dynamics: pp to mf
Organ		Each manual every part remains at the same level of volume Reproduce the special resonance ( think Church) Along with pedal points and other long-sustained notes, creates fascinating pedaling problem. Use the right pedal, without using the middle pedal.
