Chromatic Exercises & Technical Studies for the Advanced Trumpeter

Publisher: Balquhidder

This is part of a three-volume set:
• Daily Routine and Vocalises for the Advanced Trumpeter
• Method for the Advanced Trumpeter
• Chromatic Exercises and Technical Studies for the Advanced Trumpeter

This book consists of two sections. The 1st is a set of 48 chromatic exercises in extensive and detailed variations about evenly divided between duple and triple figures. A multitude  of suggested articulation schemes and slurring patterns are presented which are to be successively applied to each exercise.

The 2nd section of the book contains fifteen etudes, many of which are arrangements of less-familiar material from J.S. Bach. They are quite challenging but their aural reward is such that you are pulled along in a desire to master the etude. They bring everything together that he has been talking about in the previous books.
