Four Studies

Twenty-four studies in the first and third positions for viola. Written by Herbert Kinsey and transcribed from the violin by Margaret Banwell.

Four Pieces For Orchestra was composed by Hans Abrahamsen in 2000-2003. Programme note: In 1983 Hans Abrahamsen wrote the first seven of his Ten Studies for Piano. In the early eighties most composers who wrote for the piano were still making strenuous efforts to distance themselves from the instrument?s romantic past for example treating it as a percussion instrument rather than exploiting its expressive ?singing? potential. The piano?s modern identity as a mechanical rational emotionally cool instrument is reflected in Abrahamsen?s studies 5 7; but in the first four studies Abrahamsen allows the piano to?recollect? its past: especially what the composer calls ?the golden German romantic time full of expression night timelessness dream and the irrational?. Accordingly these first four studies were given German one might specifically say Schumanesque - titles: Traumlied (?Dreamsong?) Sturm (?Storm?) Arabeske (?Arabesque?) and Ende (?End?). While Abrahamsen was in no way dissatisfied with the first four Studies as piano music he soon felt the urge to expand them in both time and space. In their new identity as Four Pieces for Orchestra created between 2000-2003 the original studies nearly doubled in length while the forces required expanded from one soloist to an orchestra of Mahlerian/Straussian dimensions including instruments beloved by the late-romantics: Wagner tubas bass trumpet guitar mandolin and the hammer used so memorably in Mahler?s Sixth Symphony and Alban Berg?s Three Pieces for Orchestra. The results are not so much ?arrangements? of the four piano studies more recompositions. A helpful comparison might be made with certain painters: Cézanne portraying the same mountain from different angles; or Monet obsessively returning to Rouen Cathedral in different lights and weather conditions. Abrahamsen himself remembers an important visit to the Munch Museum in Oslo where he saw how Munch painted the same subject

Nico Muhly's Four Studies for two Violins and Drone. 'Four Studies was written for Angela and Jennifer Chun in 2014. Each movement has a drone which lasts for the duration of the movement. The first bar of movements 1 and 4 can be quite long. The drone should remain loosely indifferent to the other part avoiding any overly-dramatic commentary. That having been said the droning player should feel free to subtly and constantly change the nature of the sound. Rests are meant to be played freely expanding and contracting as the spirit moves the soloists but the notes should be played in relatively even time. The space between the movementscan work either with very short pauses or with no pauses at all; this is left up to the discretion of the performers.' - Nico Muhly Duration: approx. 12 minutes.

Par HUDSON ROBERT. This book was written in the same format as the established favourite '30 Modern Studies' by Rob Hudson for Trumpet. Again, the studies in this book are designed to provide trumpet players with a wide variety of technical and musical challenges, progressively arranged from beginner to advanced levels. Each study forms a complete musical statement, encompassing classical music, jazz, funk, and other traditional and popular world musical styles. These studies are suitable for examination purposes and also make attractive performance pieces./ Etude / Trompette

A Reading Workout For Serious Musicians. Par HAMILTON FRED. Une collection d\'études et de compositions écrites de fournir une approche créative à un problème commun. La plupart des étudiants de guitare n\'ont pas fonctionné grâce à une approche méthodique de la lecture de la notation musicale, ce qui limite leur progrès personnel et parfois leur développement de carrière. L\'auteur a approché les études de deux directions : horizontal, ou jusqu\'à la touche sur les chaînes individuelles et positionnels. Les deux premières parties du livre sont abondamment doits et conçus pour rendre les intervalles et patrons mélodiques plus visuellement apparente par la répétition des idées similaires à différents endroits sur le cou. La troisième partie contient cinq compositions étendues, qui attirent les jazz issu de l\'auteur. Les quatre premières comprennent des changements de corde pour la pratique du duo, comme des lignes mélodiques bien aussi exigeantes dans une variété de compteurs qui peuvent être utilisées pour l\'étude de l\'improvisation. Le cinquième morceau est écrite dans le style Raga Indien. Etudes rythmiques et la théorie de la musique de base sont inclus dans les annexes. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / All Styles - Technic / Etude / Guitare

Complete theoretical and practical method for organ-playing in three parts. Par PEETERS FLOR. Flor Peeters, born in Belgium in 1903, is one of the most important organists and organ composers of the 20th century. After completing his studies at the famous Lemmens Institute in Mechelen, he worked there as a teacher of organ and improvisation before becoming professor at and director of the Royal Flemish Conservatoire of Antwerp. Until his death in 1986, Peeters gave concerts all around the world, held numerous master classes and received several awards and prizes for his achievements as a composer, organist and teacher. In his successful three-volume educational work 'Ars Organi', Peeters combines theoretical knowledge and practical exercises on all aspects of organ playing, starting with basic information on the instrument, manual and pedal exercises and two-part manual and pedal playing. While Vol. 2 contains exercises on three-part playing, Vol. 3 contains exercises on four and five-part playing as well as studies on demanding trio playing. Each learning stage is accompanied by pedal exercises and tips on articulation, touch, interpretation, registration and organ specifications - a valuable compendium for every organist. / Méthode / Date parution : 1954-11-20/ Méthode / Orgue

Twenty-four Etudes for Violoncello Solo-Technology Of Violoncello Playing Op.38 - Twenty-four Etudes for Violoncello Solo.

Level: easy / intermediate Format: English / French / German Arranger/Editor: Thomas Stevens This book is a supplement to the original James Stamp Warm-Ups and Studies (Editions Bim, Switzerland), and all of James Stamp?s concepts and instructions presented in the original volume should apply to these studies as if they were included in this book. The Stamp Warm-up No.6 from the original book (page 10) constitutes the main body of these studies (II, 1-6, pages 18-35). In his studio teaching, James Stamp had his advanced students play No.6 in the natural minor, harmonic minor, ?jazz? melodic minor, whole-tone, and diminished scales, versions of which are included in this volume. The philosophy of the Supplemental Studies, to which James Stamp agreed many years ago, was to fill in some of the blank pages of his legacy, to wit: to show his advanced scale exercises and some of his pedagogical ?roots.? One cannot do this without mentioning Max Schlossberg (1873-1936), whom many consider to be the father of the American school of trumpet playing, and who had a great influence on James Stamp?s work. James Stamp was a student of professor Schlossberg, and he used, especially during his formative years as a teacher, some of Schlossberg?s original unpublished materials in his work. Schlossberg?s concepts also greatly influenced the development of the now world-famous original published Stamp materials (Editions Bim). The Supplemental Studies include four preparatory scale exercises (I, page 8-16) and five attack-air flow studies (III, page 36-39) used by James Stamp, both sets of which have their origins in the concepts of Max Schlossberg and the members of the so-called Schlossberg School.
