A collection of repertoire books of enjoyable, interesting, and
stimulating material for use in the early stages of learning.
Pieces are in chronological order, with brief notes placing them in
history.
The first edition of this book was published in 1962 and quickly
established itself as the classic guide to all aspects of
horn-playing, with chapters on tone-production, exercises, legato
and staccato playing, and the art of practising. For this new
edition the author has greatly enlarged the Repertoire List, which
gives details of over 1,000 pieces from the solo, chamber, and
orchestral repertoires which include one or more horns. The author
draws attention to key works in each genre. There are also a number
of corrections and up-datings throughout the text and a new preface
outlining recent developments in the horn world.
Notes for Clarinetists: A Guide to the Repertoire offers important
historical and analytical information about thirty-five of the
best-known pieces written for the instrument. Numerous contextual
and theoretical insights make it an essential resource for
professional, amateur, and student clarinetists. With engaging
prose supported by fact-filled analytical charts, the book offers
rich biographical information and informative analyses to help
clarinetists gain a more complete understanding of Three Pieces for
Clarinet Solo by Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copland's Concerto for
Clarinet, String Orchestra, Harp, and Piano, Robert Schumann's
Fantasy Pieces for Clarinet and Piano, Op. 73. and Time Pieces for
Clarinet and Piano, Op. 43. by Robert Muczynski, among many others.
With close attention to matters of context, style, and harmonic and
formal analysis, Albert Rice explores a significant portion of the
repertoire, and offers a faithful and comprehensive guide that
includes works by Boulez, Brahms, and Mozart to Hindemith, Poulenc,
and Stamitz. Rice includes biographical information on each
composer and highlights history's impact on the creation and
performance of important works for clarinet. Intended as a starting
point for connecting performance studies with scholarship, Rice's
analysis will help clarinetists gain a more complete picture of a
given work. Its valuable insights make it essential to musicians
preparing and presenting programs, and its detailed historical
information about the work and composer will encourage readers to
explore other works in a similarly analytical way. Covering
concertos, chamber pieces, and works for solo clarinet, Rice
presents Notes for Clarinetists as an indispensable handbook for
students and professionals alike.
This is an exuberant and high-spirited work, written when the
composer was nineteen. With a hauntingly beautiful contrasting slow
movement, this is a fine concert piece for students of about grade
7 standard.

"...this work is likely to become a standard work very quickly and
is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are
undertaken" -Oliver James,Contact Magazine. A novel and
comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument.
430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two
parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble
repertoire of Bach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An
outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's
brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and
recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes,
concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new
note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the
outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very
popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the
Enjoy the Recorder series.

The talent and experience of the legendary virtuoso, Leon Goossens,
with that of the contemporary composer, conductor and oboist, Edwin
Roxburgh combine to produce this comprehensive handbook for the
oboe. The history of the instrument is followed by illuminating
chapters on baroque, classical, romantic and twentieth century
music. The mark of Goossens' long experience as an international
soloist is woven into every page, whether in his observations about
great soloists of the past or in pertinent views on modern
recording methods. Edwin Roxburgh contributes a detailed
explanation of extemporization and ornamentation in
eighteenth-century music as well as an optimistic review of new
developments in oboe playing and modern music. For the student,
there is a whole section on reed making and performing techniques
together with detailed advice for teachers. Extensive appendices
