Pedagogical in nature these editions offer insightful interpretive suggestions pertinent fingering and historical and stylistic commentary.Johann Friedrich Burgmüller (1806-1874) was born into a German musical family; both his father and brother were also well-known composers. Settling in Paris after 1832 his light and intimate playing style won popularity in the salons of the day. Originally titled '25 Études faciles et progressives composées et doigtées expressément pour l'entendue des petites mains' his Op. 100 pieces are perennial favorites among Piano students and their teachers.

Czerny's opus 849 studies provide a convenient bridge between Practical Method for Beginners Op. 599 and The School of Velocity Op. 299. The studies are presented as legitimate literature emphasizing their musical potential in conjunction with their technical benefit.

Transcribed and arranged by Louis Moyse. Thirty-two pieces for the early grades. Separate Flute part with Piano accompaniment.

Forty selected studies for the Violin in two books critically revised by Sam Franko.

They have been arranged in systematic order and especial care has been bestowed on the fingering bowing and the division of the bow.

Pedagogical in nature these editions offer insightful interpretive suggestions pertinent fingering and historical and stylistic commentary.Carl Czerny's (1791-1857) popular set of Piano exercises is now available in an easy-to-read edition containing extensive performance and historical notes that guide teachers and students in the techniques that can be gleaned from each exercise. Although designed to improve technique the pieces may be thought of as real literature rather than mechanical etudes.

For unaccompanied French horn-These studies are designed to explore beyond the present limits of Horn technique and are meant to form a contemporary extension to the older studies of Kopprasch Gallay Maxime-Aphonse etc. They are therefore written to be very challenging - each Etude concentrates on an immediately identifiable problem of technique and presents it at an almost virtuoso level. This should not put the book 'out of reach' - it is clearly set out and good players can start to become excellent players by practicing these Studies perhaps just a passage at a time at first hence this book's difficulty rating. The complete pieces should then become a standard part of the advanced player'spractice. Although French (F) Horn is stipulated a further challenge is provided by transposing studies once they have been learned!

This series was designed to supplement traditional vocal instruction and works perfectly as preparatory literature for The First Book of Solos and The First Book of Solos Part II.Each piece is in Englishand has a limited vocal range as well as a piano accompaniment that is playable by a student pianist.
