Publié par Bántai Vilmos, Kovács Gábor Instrument: Flute Série: Music Lesson - Exercises, Studies Genre: Studies Pages: 36 pp Date du parution: 1980 The three volumes contain 176 studies by 25 composers. The selection was made according to technical usefulness and musical value. The studies follow in order of the grade of difficulty and are grouped around certain problems. All three volumes can be applied as supplementary material to any flute tutor. Their use should be determined by the progress of the student and not by the class he attends. We recommend the first volume (Z. 8591) for beginners, the second (Z. 8592) one for advanced students on the lower level, the third (Z. 8593) for intermediate students.

An advanced-level violin method supplement for both professional and amateur violinists. The studies in this book are more intensive and powerful than most traditional violin studies. Double-stop trills are introduced here fortechnical training and the finger stretching exercises for the left hand are pushed to the limit. The mixed single-stops double-stops and chords are also highly effective bowing exercises. All these innovative studies offer agreat opportunity for students to build up their technique more efficiently. In some studies a new synthesis of Eastern and Western music is shown unveiling a new type of music to Western audience.

Carl Czerny is considered by many to be the father of modern Piano technique. He composed over 1 000 works including hundreds of Piano studies. Germer carefully selected and organized 3 volumes ofCzerny studies in progressive difficulty from various volumes.Volume 1 Part 1 moves quickly from the early intermediate to intermediate level while Volume 1 Part 2 moves from the lateintermediate into the advanced levels. The gradual progression of difficulty found in these volumes offers the best approach to Czerny studies for Piano students of all ages.

These studies have been written to provide the ambitious student with material with which to carry on beyond the point where most methods and study books leave off, after which point the player is either compelled to continue on his own or is left with the idea that, having conquered all of the material at hand, he is well equipped to enter the ranks of professional players. However, these days the demands made upon brass players are beyond anything contained in the older methods, material which, however necessary for the student to conquer during the first years of study, was certainly never intended to develop the player to the point of present-day demands upon his lip, tongue, and breath. The pieces in this book were written as studies, not as musical compositions, that include, in more or less profusion, such figures as the student will be apt to meet with during the course of an active career. The studies are generally tuneful and pleasant in character. This book is not intended for beginners or students who have not already developed a good technique and strong embouchure by their work in the methods such as Arban´s and St. Jacome´s. It is intended for advanced players who have gone beyond the ordinary material and who are looking for exercises with which to develop higher register, extra technique and extra familiarity with the keys.

The title Perfection Studies refers to the pursuit of playing the saxophone perfectly. Therefore, this book is meant for saxophonists who have already reached a fairly advanced standard. The pieces have been written especially for this book by top composers from all over the world including Jan Van der Roost, Jacob de Haan, Martin Ellerby and Otto M. Schwarz. Nearly all aspects of saxophone playing are addressed, including melodic interpretation, tone quality, dynamics and vibrato. The rich range of colours and the melodic character of the studies also make them very suitable for playing at exams or recitals. A demo CD is included with performances byNobuya Sugawa to give you an idea of how the studies should be played. / Niveau : Avancé / Etudes et exercices / Etude / Saxophone Alto

The clarinet method op. 63 by Carl Baermann from 1867 is still a standard work in classical clarinet education today. The thoroughly revised new edition aims at reviewing the educational concept, which is still valid today, for modern lessons, adjusting the music and texts, and sensibly complementing the teaching contents.The editor who draws on many years of experience as a clarinettist in an orchestra and university lecturer of clarinet has succeeded in adapting the valuable teaching material to the requirements of today while maintaining the basic methodology. The result is a total of 7 volumes:Clarinet Method Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (ED 21761, ED 21762)Clarinet Method Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, with 2 CDs each (ED 21761-50, ED 21762-50): The CDs contain the piano accompaniment for the performance pieces, with and without clarinetTune Book 1 and 2 (ED 21763, ED 21764): piano score of the method's performance pieces, with additional inserted clarinet partDaily Exercises (ED 21765): systematic scale, interval and chord exercises in all keys, complemented and published separately from the original methodDue to trilingual nature of all editions (German, English, French), they can be used universally.About the revision:The musical text is based on the first edition of the method. Only a few differences concerning the articulation as well as some misprints and typographical errors were revised. By deleting the historical fingering instructions for the German fingering system, the clarinet method not only has a clean and, compared to the original, more clearly structured layout, but can also be used universally. The content of the text and the performance directions of the original were linguistically modernized and occasionally extended by further ideas from the teaching practice, such as concepts for warming up, breathing exercises, literature suggestions or tips for daily practising. Further additions of scale and triad studies in all major and minor keys make this method a comprehensive and thorough work of study which not only serves as teaching material for young and adult beginners, but is also a valuable compendium of scale exercises and studies for advanced musicians and is ideal for training velocity and dexterity.The Clarinet Method Vols. 1 and 2 contain not only scales and technical fingering exercises but also Baermann's popular performance pieces, like Romanze (No. 14), which are ideal as performance pieces, yet at the same time train both technique and musical expressiveness. The systematic scale, interval and chord exercises in all keys, however, were removed and are published separately in the volume Daily Exercises (ED 21765) for reasons of clarity.The two textbooks are available with or without CDs. The editions with CDs contain two audio CDs each which were recorded live by the editor and which contain a classic audio version of each performance piece as well as a pure piano version for playing along. / Clarinette

?evcík's complete works cover every area of violin technique, from the elementary level and special exercises on individual technical problems all the way to analytical studies of the standard violin concertos.His 'Preparatory Trill Studies? deal with the placement of the fingers, their pressure on the strings and their action on the fingerboard in elementary positions, proceeding from slow movements to trills.This edition is essentially based on the original print published at the outset of the 20th century, along with other sources from ?evcík's posthumous papers. The editor, Jaroslav Foltýn, is a professor of violin at Prague Conservatory, as was ?evcík himself.- Fundamental pedagogical work by a leading violin teacher- With methodological notes by the editor (Cz/Eng/Ger)- Moderate to advanced level of difficulty / Violon

Charles Dancla (1817-1907) is considered to be the last great representative of the French Violin School. He knew, in a special way, how to implement the principle no music without technique, no technique without music in his teaching material. This is the case in his easy melodic studies. These studies are perfectly suited for young beginners after the second year, but also for adult players, refreshers or outsiders. Most of them can be effectively used as little performance pieces, providing an excellent foundation for every advanced étude or concert piece.Each study is preceded by new or revised exercises which either deal with specific problems relating to the playing technique or present the tonal material of the respective study in a condensed, playful form.Those who prefer Dancla's somewhat easier original preliminary exercises will find them in the appendix.
