Ralph Sauer's landmark new work, Practice With Bach, will challenge your technique and musicality with demanding new etudes. Based on the keyboard works of J. S. Bach, each of the Three Volumes is available in five different versions--Alto Trombone, Tenor Trombone, Bass Trombone, Euphonium, and Tuba. Each version is customized for the individual instrument (choice of key, range, ornaments, etc.). Tenor trombonists will find that the Alto version is excellent for high register practice and alto clef reading. Likewise, Tenor trombonists can use the Bass version for low register work. Bass trombonists will find excellent material in the Tenor version for work in the upper register and tenor clef reading. The Euphonium version is in the same key as the Tenor version, but all in bass clef, with many more trills added. The Tuba version is in the same key as the Bass version, also with more trills. Volume One contains Twenty-four etudes in all keys, based upon preludes from The Well-Tempered Clavier.

Bach's Unaccompanied Suites have been beautifully and meticulously edited for Bass Trombone by Ralph Sauer. Mr. Sauer's thoughtful version of the Six Suites gives the performer room to breathe musically. To quote Mr. Sauer,

I refrained from using fanciful descriptive terms such as con brio, or quasi una fantasia because they may suggest a particular style...
This transcription is not intended to be a blueprint to be followed exactly, but rather, it is the raw material from which a personal interpretation can be built..

Bass trombone or tuba studies - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2916

Composed by Ludwig Milde. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic Russian. Coil booklet. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2916).

Ralph Sauer has beautifully edited Volume I of the Milde Concert Studies. They will add much to the Bass Trombone (Tuba) study/etude literature. We look forward to many performers using these valuable studies to improve their technique and musicianship.

Or iginally written for the bassoon, these studies were favorites of the great trombone teacher, Emory Remington (1891-1971). While perhaps not concert material, they provide much more musical interest than the typical �©tude book.
I have added dynamics and changed phrasings to be more suitable for the bass trombone (or tuba) while keeping the wide tessitura of the original. The keys have been changed to put each �©tude in a more suitable range, while the trills from the original bassoon version are included primarily for tuba players.
These enjoyable and challenging studies will provide many hours of pleasurable practice. I have returned to these two volumes often over the years and hope that you will also find them useful and rewarding..
