Eb Instruments. Par WENIGER PETER. This CD (including music booklet) has not especially been worked out for the use in musical education. It is, on the contrary, an audio CD which has been recorded for sale as a trio CD under my name. Mixing the recordings at the studio, however, gave us the idea to offer this CD Legal Paradizer also as a play along CD. For this reason I have never taken a pedagogic approach to the musical conception of the pieces performed, which, in my opinion, is exactly what makes these recordings so unique. The structure of none of the pieces is, for instance, as simple as that of the tunes on some other play along CDs. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of adding a short explanationand/or comment on every piece meant to make it easier for you to follow the road map of the tunes. Additionally I have explained some stylistic features to help you interprete the individual pieces. Working with my students has shown me how much fun it can be to also offer groove and funk oriented music on a CD to play along. In most of the pieces you do not necessarily have to follow the changes; you should rather develop simple ideas in time. A real strong emphasis is here placed on the term groove./ Recueil / Instruments Mélodiques In Sib ou Saxophone Alto ou

Saxophone study material that is aimed at musical expression and sound, instead of virtuosity is always in short supply. Most existing study books offer too little opportunity to apply the learned technique for its actual purpose - making music. These New Concert Studies meet the demand for teaching the art of making music. The book contains fifteen studies that put emphasis on interpretation and performance. The pieces have been written by a number of leading composers and their various approaches make practising these studies a good way to widen your musical horizons. The books comes with a demo CD featuring Nobuya Sugawa showing exactly how it should be done. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Etudes et exercices / Répertoire / Saxophone Alto
