Drunken Sailor — the sequel
This needs a plaintive tone especially in the upper register where the dynamics are particularly important. To capture the mood of the piece those slurs in bars 35 and 36, for example, might even be close to a glissando. Use your imagination to recreate the sailor’s state of health!

The Vulgar Boatman
Not only more hidden melodies but more appalling puns! (Volga Boatman for those not versed in Russian folksongs). This is like a waltz: it is written in 3/4 time but played so as to give the impression of one beat in bar. The melodies need to be well sustained so that we hear four, eight or even more bars as a single phrase. Clues for the musical detective:- in addition to the Volga Boatman, you might spot just a hint of Sailing down the River on a Sunday Afternoon, We Sail the Ocean Blue (H.M.S. Pinafore), The Eton Boating Song and even Wagner’s Flying Dutchman.

Last Tango in Harris
Everyone must surely know these thinly disguised Scottish tunes, but can you make them sound like a tango? Bear in mind that tangos are not jazz: the rhythm is quite strict, but the tango character is in the tone and the phrasing. Notice how expressive the occasional shorter note value can be, as in bars 4 and 5 in the bassoon part.

Rheumanian Stretches
Or was that Rumanian Sketches? This is a chance to play the main melody in two registers of the bassoon. Try to make a good even sound in both octaves. This piece requires careful counting since the phrases in the bassoon part don’t always begin where you might expect. Think of this piece as a song.

Philip Sparke’s Starter Studies is the first volume of a progressive series of study books that takes the young wind player from beginner to accomplished musician.This collection of 65 studies offers a choice of starting note to suit individual tastes and carefully introduces new musical elements, such as articulation, dynamics and key signatures in a structured progression to speed the learning process.

Philip Sparke’s Starter Solos is het eerste deel van een serie boeken met muziek voor jonge blazers. Deze bundel van twintig solo’s begint met stukken die op een handvol noten zijn gebaseerd. Nieuwe muzikale elementen (articulatie, dynamiek, enz.) worden op een doordachte, gestructureerde manier toegevoegd. Dit studiemateriaal vult elke leermethode aan en is steeds toegesneden op het betreffende instrument.

Während Philip Sparke an diesen drei Etüdenbüchern arbeitete, beriet er sich mit vielen Musiklehrern, wie man jungen Bläsern am besten neue Noten beibringt und zugleich einen Rahmen schafft, in welchen sich neue musikalische Elemente in einer logischen Reihenfolge einfügen lassen. Starter Studies für Anfänger und Skilful Studies sowie Super Studies für etwas fortgeschrittenere Bläser enthalten motivierende Etüden, mit deren Hilfe die Schüler strukturiert ihren Tonumfang erweitern und technische Fähigkeiten, wie Ansatzvariationen oder Griffe erwerben können. Die Etüden sind jeweils genau auf die technischen und musikalischen Anforderungen der einzelnenInstrumente zugeschnitten. Damit bekommen interessierte Schüler schon ab einem frühen Lernstadium optimales Übungsmaterial an die Hand, so dass sie schnell zu guten Musikern heranreifen können. Die drei Bücher können ergänzend zu jeder Instrumentalschule eingesetzt werden.

Les débuts de l’apprentissage d’un instrument sont certainement les plus décisifs. Un bon professeur est un élément-clé, mais il est indispensable de posséder des outils pédagogiques complémentaires motivants offrant une présentation structurée des techniques de jeu et d’apprentissage. Starter Studies vous fournit un environnement adéquat l’introduction de nouveaux éléments musicaux en suivant une démarche logique qui facilite le développement rapide d’un “musicien complet”.

“Gli inizi dell’apprendimento musicale sono decisivi. Un buon insegnante è un elemento chiave, ma è indispensabile avere a disposizione materiale pedagogico complementare che motivi gli allievi e che allo stesso tempo offra una presentazione completa delle tecniche del suono. Starter Studies è il primo volume di questa serie di studi strumentali: una collana che offre un ambiente adeguato all’introduzione di nuovi elementi musicali. Skilful Studies è il motore indispensabile per procedere nel mondo della musica. Per diventare un musicista completo, gli studi proposti in Super Studies si concentrano su un’esigenza particolare relativa alla specificit del vostrostrumento”.

Nearly an entire decade lies between the first mention (1831) and the printing (1840) of the Trio op. 49. Mendelssohn kept trying to set it to paper, but he was probably again making too many demands on this work, his first in the piano trio genre. Yet his efforts were immediately rewarded: It is the master trio of the present, and Mendelssohn the Mozart of the 19th century, proclaimed Robert Schumann, who was also to compose a landmark D minor Trio seven years later. Mendelssohn's second Trio op. 66 was composed with a relatively light hand in 1845. Over and beyond the familiar Trios opp. 49 and 66, the corresponding volume of the Leipziger Mendelssohn-Ausgabe contains sketches and drafts in the same scoring, which were not further developed.
