Abstract This book contains articles that appeared in The Instrumentalist magazine between October 1965 and May 1969; they have been thoroughly revised and in some cases rewritten in order to take into account the cumulative scholarship since their first appearance. These articles explore wind history and wind literature and together comprise a source book for thesis topics, program ideas, and program notes.
