Ralph Sauer's landmark new work, Practice With Bach, will challenge your technique and musicality with demanding new �tudes. Based on the keyboard works of J. S. Bach, each of the Three Volumes is available in five different versions--Alto Trombone, Tenor Trombone, Bass Trombone, Euphonium, and Tuba. Each version is customized for the individual instrument (choice of key, range, ornaments, etc.).



Tenor trombonists will find that the Alto version is excellent for high register practice and alto clef reading. Likewise, Tenor trombonists can use the Bass version for low register work.



Bass trombonists will find excellent material in the Tenor version for work in the upper register and tenor clef reading. The Euphonium version is in the same key as the Tenor version, but all in bass clef, with many more trills added. The Tuba version is in the same key as the Bass version, also with more trills.



Volume One contains Twenty-four �tudes in all keys, based upon preludes from The Well-Tempered Clavier.and#65279;

There are three movements in Fantasy Pieces that make up Robert Schumann?s Opus 73. Completed in 1849, he linked each piece harmonically. Schumann directs the performers to follow on to the next section, indicating that these movements were intended as a whole.



From a mood of delicate expression, through eloquent and lively to fiery and urgent, this is a compelling and intriguing work. The Fantasy Pieces are full of Romanticism and thoughtfulness to make it an important and entertaining work.



This version has been skillfully arranged for Euphonium and Piano by Ralph Sauer, formerly Principal Trombonist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
