He was also the teacher of such notable students as Jean-Baptiste Arban and Louis Saint-Jacome. As a performer Dauverné was first trumpet in the Paris Opera Orchestra for over thirtyyears. Dauverné is credited for being one of the first individuals to play on the valved trumpet in a public performance and convinced such composers as Berlioz Rossini and Meyerbeer to write for the instrument.This collection of six solos was originally composed for solo trumpet and chamber orchestra. Associate Professor of Trumpet at the University of North Dakota Ronnie Ingle has meticulously transcribed and edited these groundbreaking works for solo trumpet and has made available here for the first time a modern edition for solo trumpet and piano. This is a collection that all trumpeters should have in their library.

This book has been compiled to aid teachers and students in the development of the French Horn embouchure, particularly in the important period following elementary development. It is based upon the theory that, mechanically, nearly all of the problems to be met by the player in the orchestra, band, chamber ensemble, etc., can be covered by a comprehensive daily routine of practice. Various drills have been devised, with no claim to originality, to cope with the various mechanical problems of embouchure with which the player is faced in the field.
