Suivant le principe des Microjazz pour instrument soliste, ce recueil contient une succession de morceaux de style populaire classés par ordre de difficulté croissante, ainsi qu´un groupe de compositions de caractère essentiellement rythmique qui tiennent compte de l'ambitus et du caractère propre de l'instrument.Les difficultés rythmiques sont l´obstacle principal à franchir, tout particulièrement lorsque les 2 joueurs jouent ensemble. N'essayez pas de jouer les morceaux trop rapidement. Chaque pièce porte un caractère qui lui est propre et l'exécution aussi précise que fidèle devrait révéler la nature de chaque morceaux aussi bien aux joueurs qu´aux auditeurs.Contenu :Spring SongHungarian StompFleet FeetPromisesWomblingMechanics RagHighly StrungBeguineBoogieYoung at Heart
