Ralph Sauer has beautifully edited Volume I of the Milde Concert Studies. They will add much to the Trombone study/etude literature. We look forward to many performers using these valuable studies to improve their technique and musicianship.
Originally written for the bassoon, these studies were favorites of the great trombone teacher, Emory Remington (1891-1971). While perhaps not “concert” material, they provide much more musical interest than the typical etude book.bBr />I have added dynamics and changed phrasings to be more suitable for the trombone while keeping the wide tessitura and the many clef changes of the original. Alternate positions are included to make the music more fluid. I have not indicated whether an alternate position is to be played slightly higher or lower. The trombonist should know what adjustments are needed, and adding the small sharps or flats would only clutter the notation.
These enjoyable and challenging studies will provide many hours of pleasurable practice. I have returned to these two volumes often over the years and hope that you will also find them useful and rewarding.

SONATA per il Flauto traverso solo senza Basso, da C.F.E. Bach appeared in 1763 in the fourth quarter publication of Musikalisches Mancherley, a musical quarterly printed in Berlin.

In transcribing the work for trombone, Sauer has changed the original key of A minor to C minor and has revised the order of the movements to a more typical fast-slow-fast pattern.
This work in three movements is suitable for advanced performers.

This wonderful unaccompanied work by Johann Sebastian Bach was, in all likelihood, written for the transverse flute, though that is by no means certain. In fact, there is an earlier version of the Allemande for a keyboard or stringed instrument.

The Partita, originally in the key of A minor has been transposed down into D minor, putting it into a perfect range. The work is in four movements:

Allemande, Corrente, Sarabande and Bourree Anglaise and is appropriate for advanced performers.
