Abstract
This article provides an introduction to the English translations of texts on timbre and orchestration by German scholars Theodor W. Adorno and Carl Dahlhaus. The Adorno text, “The Function of Timbre in Music,” is based on a series of lectures he gave at the Darmstadt Summer Courses for New Music in 1966, while Dahlhaus’ essay “On the Theory of Instrumentation” was originally published in the journal Die Musikforschung in 1985. This introduction gives an overview into the differing approaches of the two authors to the problem of musical timbre and briefly considers the challenges presented in the translation of German words such as Klang, Farbe, and Klangfarbe.
