This new edition of Jean Baptiste Arban's Fourteen Characteristic Studies for Trombone, edited by Alan Raph, was specifically written to provide the student with suitable material with which to test his powers of endurance, according to Arban himself.
The following fourteen studies have been specifically written to provide the student withsuitable material with which to test his powers of endurance. In taking up these studies, he willdoubtless be fatigued, especially at the outset, by those numbers requiring an unusual length ofbreath. However, through careful study and experience he will learn to overcome the difficultiesand will acquire the resources which will enable him to master this particular phase of playingwith ease. As a means to this end, attention is drawn to cantabile passages in particular, whichshould be played with the utmost expression, yet at the same time with as much modified toneas possible. On the cornet, as with the voice, clear tones may be obtained by widening thelips and veiled tones by contracting them. This happy circumstance allows the performer anopportunity to rest while still continuing to play, and at the same time enables him to introduceeffective contrasts into the execution. It should be noted that by little artifices of this kind, andby skillfully conserving his resources, the player will reach the end of the longest and mostfatiguing pieces, not only without difficulty, but even with a reserve of strength and power,which, when brought to bear on the final measures of a performance, never fails to impress anaudience.At this point my task as professor (using the written instead of the spoken word) willend. There are things which appear clear enough when stated verbally but which when writtendown on paper cause confusion, seem obscure, and even sometimes appear trivial.There are other things of such an elevated and subtle nature that neither speech norword can clearly explain them. They are felt, they are conceived, but they are not to be explained;and yet these things constitute the elevated style, the grand ecole, which it is my ambition toestablish for the cornet, just as they already exist for singing and for the various kinds of otherinstruments.Those of my readers who are ambitious and who want to attain this high level ofperfection, should above all things, always try to hear good music well interpreted. Theymust seek out, among singers and instrumentalists, the most illustrious models, and by doingthis purify their taste, develop their sentiments, and bring themselves as near as possible tothat which is beautiful. Perhaps then the innate spark which may someday be destined todemonstrate their own talent, will reveal itself and render them worthy of being, in their turn,cited and imitated in the future.

Symphonie Fantastique, composed by Hector Berlioz, is a symphony in five movements based upon Berlioz's own experiences of disappointment in love. Tohru Takahashi's arrangement fully exploits the capabilities of the concert band whilst staying true to the tonal colour and textures of the original. Movements include: Reveries - Passions, Un Bal, Scène aux champs, Marche au supplice and Songe d'une nuit de sabbat.

Hector Berlioz was nogal teleurgesteld in de liefde. Met de nog steeds modern klinkende Symphonie Fantastique gaf hij hieraan uiting. Tohru Takahashi verwerkte de originele partituur voor deze transcriptie. Hij wil hiermee de mogelijkhedenvan een modern blaasorkest optimaal benutten, maar verliest daarbij de originele klankkleuren nooit uit het oog. De optionele solopartij voor de cornet verschijnt in het tweede deel. Oorspronkelijk werd deze voor de beroemdekornettist Jean-Baptiste Arban geschreven.Mooi en meeslepend!Symphonie Fantastique bestaat uit de vijf delen Rêveries-Passions (Mijmeringen), Un bal (Een bal), Scène aux champs (Scène op de velden), Marche au supplice (Gangnaar het schavot) en Songe d'une nuit de sabbat (Droom van een heksensabbat).

Berlioz' einzigartige instrumentale und musikalische Herangehensweise klingt auch im 21. Jahrhundert noch neu. Für diese neue Transkription für Blasorchester schöpfte Tohru Takahashi unter bestmöglicher Ausnutzung der originalen Klangfarben die Möglichkeiten eines modernen Blasorchesters voll aus. Die Sinfonie besteht aus den fünf Sätzen Rêveries-Passions, Un bal, Scène aux champs, Marche au supplice und Songe d'une nuit de sabbat.

L'originalité instrumentale et musicale de Berlioz apparaît encore au XXIe siècle avec la même fraîcheur, que celle qui présida lors de la création de l'oeuvre. Pour cette nouvelle transcription pour orchestre vent, Tohru Takahashi a revisité la partition de Berlioz en respectant l'orchestration originale, afin d'exploiter pleinement le vaste potentiel d'un orchestre vent. La Symphony Fantastique se compose de cinq ensembles Rêveries-Passions, Un bal, Scène aux champs, Marche au supplice et Songe d'une nuit de Sabbat.

L'originalit strumentale e musicale di Berlioz è attuale anche nel XXI secolo. Per questa nuova trascrizione per banda, Tohru Takahashi ha rivisitato lo spartito di Berlioz rispettando l'orchestrazione originale per sfruttare al meglio il vasto potenziale delle formazioni di fiati moderni. La Symphonie Fantastique si compone di cinque movimenti: Reveries-Passions, Un Bal, Scène aux champs, Marche au supplice e Songe d'une nuit de Sabbat.
