Concert Pieces from the Clarinet Method. Par BAERMANN CARL. 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 clarinet Tune Book 1 and 2 (ED 21763, ED 21764): piano score of the method\'s performance pieces, with additional inserted clarinet part Daily Exercises (ED 21765): systematic scale, interval and chord exercises in all keys, complemented and published separately from the original method Due 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 tune books contain all performance pieces from the Clarinet Method Op. 63 by Carl Baermann for clarinet and piano. Thanks to the revised editions, they are now available as scores with inserted solo part for the first time. Thus, the popular performance pieces and studies can also be used separately from the textbook ? as an addition to the repertoire of music lessons or simply as a collection of attractive performance pieces for pupils and advanced clarinettists. As with the two volumes of the Clarinet Method, the musical text of the tune books is based on the first edition of the method, and only few differences concerning articulation as well as several 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. / Éducatif / Recueil / Clarinette en Bb et Piano

I have the pleasure of presenting the new Souza Lima playalong method series. This project is the result of extensive research and careful elaboration aiming at offering representative material on the most varied styles of Brazilian music to professional musicians students teachers and all those who take a general interest in this field of music.The focus of this series is on the language of instrumental music nowadays performed in Brazil based on elements of modern improvisation. Each volume contains two CDs with seven pieces of music which are presented in the following versions:1. Complete takes in other words the full versions of the pieces included in the book which are performed by all the instruments playing simultaneously;2. Without melody / solo part so that the melodic instruments can play along with the recording executing their own interpretations and practicing improvisations;3. Without harmony so that the harmonic instruments can practice the language of accompaniment especially with regard to the rhythmic vocabulary of each style.4. Without bass so that the bassists can practice their traditional task of accompaniment while working on the rhythmic but also the harmonic aspects;5. Without drums so that the drummers can practice the rhythms characteristic of each piece of music but also create their own variations.Each book contains the scores in the form of lead sheets in four different versions: in C Bb Eb and bass clef. Due to the widely defined concept of this method it is important to point out that musicians playing transposing instruments might have to make adaptions when reading the scores. Wind instrumentalists are at liberty to carry out adjustments whenever these are called for in order to facilitate the musical execution.The Souza Lima playalong method series was not exclusively devised for musicians to learn and practise how to read scores and accompany the recordings. Try to be creative and explore each type of music in every way possible. Transcribing solos rhythmic comping phrases bass lines and drum grooves for instance can be an important tool in order to assimilate the elements of this language. The instrumentalists may place themselves in a new musical situation in addition

This is the most comprehensive study of Schoenberg's program notes and analyses of his own music yet published. Schoenberg's Program Notes And Musical Analyses illuminates 42 of Schoenberg's compositions through his own writings. This material in book emphasizes Schoenberg's deep concern for communicating with and educating his audience. In 1950 as Arnold Schoenberg anticipated the publication of a collection of 15 of his most important writings Style and Idea he was already at work on a second volume to be called Program Notes. Inspired by this idea Schoenberg's Program Notes And MusicalAnalyses can boast the most comprehensive study of the composer's writings about his own music yet published. Schoenberg's insights emerge not only in traditional program notes but also in letters sketch materials pre-concert talks public lectures contributions to scholarly journals newspaper articles interviews pedagogical materials and publicity fliers. The editions of the texts in this collection based almost exclusively on Schoenberg's original manuscript sources include many items appearing in print in English for the first time as well as more familiar texts that preserve musical and textual information eliminated from previous editions. The book also reveals how Schoenberg desirous to communicate with and educate an audience took every advantage of changes in technology during his lifetime utilizing print media radio broadcasts record jackets—and had he lived television—for this purpose. In addition to four chapters in which Schoenberg illuminates 42 of his own compositions the book begins with chapters on his development and influences his thoughts about trends in modern music and in a nod to the importance of the radio in providing a venue for music analysis a chapter about Schoenberg's radio broadcasts.
