The renowned author and pioneering teacher (the first lecturer for any historical brass instrument at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis) has collected and condensed his long teaching experience into the present three volumes. Though intended chiefly for players of baroque and natural trumpets the study of these volumes should also be obligatory for players of modern valve trumpets in order to perform baroque music in an informed way. A wide selection of exercises and pieces from the repertoire has been arranged into a systemmatic tutor with solutions for all technical and musical problems and with special attention to ensemble playing.
