The collection
of 130 studies published
in two volumes was
compiled with the aim in
mind to meet the demands
of trombone instruction
from the highest classes
of the music schools to
the Academy of Music. lt
was selected from those
'traditional' studies
which played a decisive
role in trombone playing
and instruction at the
turn of the century and
have become the most
frequently performed
studies since then.
However old-fashioned
these studies may seem,
they belong to the best
ones with regard to safe,
smooth technique and the
elaboration of a nice
sound and will definitely
serve their purÂpose
in the future as well. On
compiling the volumes, I
have attempted to observe
not only asequence
according to grade of
difficulty but the
variety of characters as
well. I am convinced that
these studies are both
useful and, when
performed sufficiently
colorfully, may
contribute to overcoming
the monotony of technical
exercises. The
articulation sings and
markings of dynamics,
which often differ from
the original, try to meet
this aim.I had already
used this collection of
studies before it was
printed. 1 had to realize
soon that the technical
level of the first pieces
was too high to assure a
smooth transition from
the trombone tutors
written for beginners. As
a result, I found it
necessary to start the
first volume with a
shortened and facilitated
version of some studies.
Since these pieces in
question have been
changed considerably, a *
beside the composer's
name refers to the fact
in each case that they
are arrangements.I
recommend my work to my
past, present and future
pupilsPál
