Most of the etudes in
Twenty Studies were composed with very specific problems
in mind. If you are an orchestral trumpet player working on the
standard audition repertoire, this book is a must-have for your
collection and should be worked into your practice regime at the earliest
possible opportunity.
To illustrate how the book provides
solutions to very specific problems in the standard orchestral repertoire,
consider the etude called “It’s In There”. This etude was
composed specifically to address the issue of breathing in the famed
Petrouchka excerpt. Practicing "It's In There" forces
the musician to deal with breathing, because of the etude's length and
range. When the musician learns and masters "It's In There",
he or she is better equipped to handle the original etude, and returning
to it (s)he will find it less demanding and not nearly as intimidating as
before.
Another example is the
etude which deals with the intervals and phrasing of Mahler’s third
symphony. After mastering this etude, the challenges posed by the
intervals and phrasing of the original excerpt will
cease to be as formidable as many musicians
originally experienced them.
The book boasts several
of these “exaggerated” etudes along with other, more generally challenging
studies. All of the etudes are intended to help you prepare for your
orchestral auditions.
This paperback book is spiral-bound for
easy reading and comfortable use on a music stand. |
