Level: easy / intermediate Format: English / French / German Arranger/Editor: Thomas Stevens This book is a supplement to the original James Stamp Warm-Ups and Studies (Editions Bim, Switzerland), and all of James Stamp?s concepts and instructions presented in the original volume should apply to these studies as if they were included in this book. The Stamp Warm-up No.6 from the original book (page 10) constitutes the main body of these studies (II, 1-6, pages 18-35). In his studio teaching, James Stamp had his advanced students play No.6 in the natural minor, harmonic minor, ?jazz? melodic minor, whole-tone, and diminished scales, versions of which are included in this volume. The philosophy of the Supplemental Studies, to which James Stamp agreed many years ago, was to fill in some of the blank pages of his legacy, to wit: to show his advanced scale exercises and some of his pedagogical ?roots.? One cannot do this without mentioning Max Schlossberg (1873-1936), whom many consider to be the father of the American school of trumpet playing, and who had a great influence on James Stamp?s work. James Stamp was a student of professor Schlossberg, and he used, especially during his formative years as a teacher, some of Schlossberg?s original unpublished materials in his work. Schlossberg?s concepts also greatly influenced the development of the now world-famous original published Stamp materials (Editions Bim). The Supplemental Studies include four preparatory scale exercises (I, page 8-16) and five attack-air flow studies (III, page 36-39) used by James Stamp, both sets of which have their origins in the concepts of Max Schlossberg and the members of the so-called Schlossberg School.

For nearly 150 years Jean-Baptiste Arban's 14 studies have been an essential part of a brass player's practice routine. Arban's original parts contain many inaccuracies and inconsistencies and whilst there was no intention here of creating an 'Urtext' edition the editors have attempted to make each study's phrasing articulation and where necessary dynamics consistent with itself without losing the character and intentions of Arban's manuscript. The decision therefore was to not add dynamics at the beginning of studies where Arban has omitted them as you will quickly discover the right dynamic (for you) on practising the piece. You may also as performer wish tochange or ignore the included suggestions for that is what they are and you must feel free to do so.This edition includes imaginative Piano accompaniments written to reflect the nature of the solo part and enhance the soloist's practice whilst lending these studies also to the concert repertoire.The CD that accompanies this edition contains John Alley's accompaniments in three tempi. One for slow practice one for general performance and then one for the virtuoso! Also included are stylish performances of all 14 studies by leading UK trumpeter Paul Mayes. In order to produce an artistically cohesive CD his performances are a mix of the two featured performance tempi.

Arranged for Mandolin-Franz Wohlfahrt (1833 ??? 1884) a violin teacher in Leipzig Germany wrote several series of etudes including 60 Studies for Violin Opus 45 from which this book of mandolin studies was derived. Originally composed for his own teaching purposes over the past 100 years Wohlfahrt???s etudes have become standard works for beginning violin study the world over. Adapted for mandolin in standard notation and tablature some violin techniques had to be altered to make these studies accessible to mandolinists. The resulting book contains progressively arranged compositional gems that include scale tremolo arpeggio and position studies plus grace notes double-stops and other techniques???all terrific sight-reading material at an intermediate to advanced level.
