This text provides the first comprehensive examination of pictographic notation. Pictographic musical notation
represents the relevant instruments themselves rendered visually rather than verbally. Used most extensively in
contemporary publications between the 1950s and 1980s, its popularity has waned in recent years. This expertly
researched work displays the resourcefulness and inventiveness of 20th century orchestrators.
Providing a detailed examination of pictographic score notation, this unique book passes over 60 years of
contemporary composition and score publications. Divided into three sections, this work describes instrumental
pictographs, stage diagrams, and pictographic performance directives. In addition to the thoroughly researched
information and extensive technique illustrations, commentary on individual examples and frequent cross-referencing
of related examples, differentiate this work from other journal articles and notation texts.
