Sometime after that, someone talked the publisher of Ravel’s orchestration to add the piano part at the bottom of the score so students could see how Ravel went from piano to orchestra.  In 1928, Arthur Edward Heacox, building on this simple idea, created the pocket-sized Project Lessons in Orchestration which taught orchestration by showing students how to go from piano to orchestra.  About 31 years later, in 1959, came Joseph Wagner, conductor, founder of the Civic Symphony Orchestra of Boston, and teacher of orchestration at Boston University. Dr. Wagner took Project Lessons in Orchestration to the next step by re-organizing Heacox’s material and creating the Reference Chart of Keyboard Idioms which organized piano techniques by comparable orchestral devices.  With this approach Wagner put the piano part at the bottom of the score with his orchestration above it which, like Ravel’s score, enabled students to see how Wagner, using the same examples throughout the book, went from piano to strings, then piano to woodwinds, and finally, from piano to orchestra.  Now on the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Wagner’s magnum opus, Alexander Publishing has releasing the newly revised Professional Orchestration: A Practical Handbook in the first of three books, workbook, and for the very first time – audio recordings of all the piano examples in the workbook and in From Piano to Strings, From Piano to Woodwinds, and From Piano to Orchestra. From Piano to Strings is the first of the three volumes in the series. In From Piano to Strings, you learn 13 broad techniques from the Reference Chart of Keyboard Idioms for turning piano parts into full scale string ensembles. Each example contains the original part and the string ensemble orchestration above it along with text explaining the background to the orchestration. Newly added text examines MIDI mockup issues. Newly created MIDI examples contain both piano and string parts as shown below. Included for additional study is Grieg’s Holberg Suite for Piano and separate orchestration for string ensemble. See how Grieg used these very techniques to create his remarkable score.
