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.

Trio Flex is a clever concept that offers you a range of possible options. As well as a demo version played by live instruments, the enclosed CD contains two play-along tracks for each piece. One track features the combo only, and the other track features the combo plus the second and third parts of the trio. Peter Kleine Schaars has arranged ten well-known numbers for three wind instruments in various styles and genres. Play the melody with the combo on the CD, or play the trio version with the other two recorded parts. That will sound great in itself. But you can also form a trio with two co-players, and have yourselves accompanied by the combo on the CD. No matterwihich variation you choose, get ready for a musical experience that will amaze your audience!

Trio-Flex is een uitgekiend concept dat verschillende mogelijkheden met zich meebrengt. De meegeleverde cd bevat - naast een live ingespeelde demoversie - van elk nummer twee begeleidingstracks. Op de ene track hoor je alleenhet combo en op de andere track hoor je het combo met daarbij de tweede en derde stem van het trio.Fun Favorites Peter Kleine Schaars bewerkte tien bekende nummers voor drie spelers in diverse genres en stijlen. Speel demelodie met het combo op de cd, of speel de trioversie met de tegenstemmen. Dat klinkt al geweldig. Maar je kunt ook met twee medespelers een trio vormen en je door het combo op de cd laten begeleiden. Welke variant je ook kiest:bereid je voor op een muzikale belevenis die je publiek versteld zal doen staan!

Trio-Flex ist ein cleveres Konzept, das verschiedene Möglichkeiten bietet. Neben einer live eingespielten Demoversion enthält die beiliegende CD zwei Mitspielversionen jedes Stückes. Eine wird nur von der Combo gespielt, die andere von der Combo zusammen mit der zweiten und dritten Stimme des Trios.Peter Kleine Schaars arrangierte zehn bekannte Titel für drei Posaunen in verschiedenen Genres und Musikstilen. Die Melodie zur Combo auf der CD gespielt oder die Trioversion mit den Gegenstimmen auf der CD - das alleine klingt schon wunderbar. Am schönsten ist allerdings, wenn sich zwei Mitspieler finden und dann im Trio zur Combo-Begleitung auf der CD musiziert werdenkann. Ganz egal, für welche Variante man sich entscheidet: Es wird eine musikalische Erfahrung, die jedes Publikum begeistert!

Trio Flex est un concept malin qui offre plusieurs possibilités de jeu. Chaque pièce est enregistrée dans trois versions : une version intégrale, jouée par un vrai combo, suivie de deux versions play-along qui correspondent une version combo seul et une version combo avec les les voix 2 et 3. Peter Kleine Schaars a arrangé dix morceaux orientés grand public, de styles et de genres variés, pour trois instruments vent. Il y a plusieurs options de jeu : jouer la ligne mélodique avec l'accompagnement du combo seul, jouer la ligne mélodique avec la version combo + voix 2 et 3 ou encore former un trio avec deux amis jouant du même instrument et swinguer avec les musiciens ducombo. Quelle que soit l'option choisie, vous ferez sensation auprès du public!

Fun Favorites è una pubblicazione basata sul concetto di TRIO-FLEX; si può quindi fare musica con tre strumentisti, da soli con il combo, o da soli con il combo e le parti del trio.
