When I was a music student, *mumble-mumble* decades ago, I couldn’t afford a copy of the Rimsky-Korsakov text (and it wasn’t required for any courses, anyway), so though I had a yen to peek under its covers from time to time, I never owned a copy. I still don’t, but the Garritan resource gives me the whole thing PLUS an interactive text (recordings of musical examples in the text can be played) and a discussion board where folks who’re studying and using it can hash things out together, share samples of work applying the principles, etc.. Absolutely wonderful! Thanks, Garritan!
