The exercises and studies cover all phases of playing with the ultimate goal of acquiring and maintaining a strong flexible embouchure. Los Angeles studio pro, Chris Tedesco, will guide you through selected excerpts from all 19 lessons (#27 through #45) by playing, demonstrating, and encouraging the student from start to finish on the included audio CD. Pappy often said, 'Perfect practice makes perfect, careless practice makes mediocrity, and no practice makes nothing.' Since every individual has their own unique set of strengths and challenges, the time necessary to devote to studying this method will vary from student to student. The important thing is to establish a structured schedule that is appropriate for you. There are countless professionals, educators, and performers who claim that Mitchell on Trumpet is the most complete trumpet method ever written. The student who completes Mitchell's Method will be among a select few who possess the endurance, technique, and flexibility needed to conquer any obstacle that they may encounter in any musical passage ever written for trumpet. This Book 2 and all that follow are dedicated to Harold's son, Ollie Mitchell for his tireless pursuit to see his Pappy's work available for many future generations of aspiring trumpet players. Ollie touched so many lives, but sadly, was peacefully reunited with his Pappy when he passed away at home surrounded by family and friends on May 11, 2013. Harold Mitchell lived during a time when musicians played a vital role in popular entertainment. It was a nostalgic era of live performances in music & theater. Mitchell on Trumpet is the culmination of Pappy's life's work and still remains today as the only complete course ever written for learning to play the trumpet./ Méthode / Trompette

Par PART ARVO. Chad Smith, Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, has long nurtured the desire to commission a new work by Arvo Pärt. When the Los Angeles Philharmonic submitted this idea to Arvo Pärt in February 2007, the suggestion came at precisely the right moment. Pärt was working at that time with an ancient canon in Church Slavonic containing a prayer to a guardian angel - the connection to 'Los Angeles' was irresistible. Pärt was further inspired to take the commission by the idea of seeing this work performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, one of the best orchestras in the world, under its music director Esa-Pekka Salonen, and in the Walt Disney Concert Hall, one of the most exciting concert buildings of our time. The Canberra International Music Festival / Ars Musica Australis and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music joined the project as co-commissioners, thanks to the committed work of director Chris Latham. It may come as a surprise that it has taken so long (37 years) for Pärt to produce his fourth symphony. Symphony No. 3 emerged in 1971, in a time of transition before Pärt had fully developed the 'Tintinnabuli style' which he still employs today. Since developing this style, Pärt has not written any orchestral works which could be called 'symphonic' in scope or structure. With Symphony No. 4, which he calls 'Los Angeles', he creates a reference to this essential phase in his compositional life. Symphony No. 4 incorporates Pärt's 'These Words…' for string orchestra, which was premiered in May 2008 in Copenhagen. As was previously seen in some of Pärt's early instrumental works, all parameters of the text (number of syllables, inflection, punctuation etc) play a decisive role in the structure of the composition. Arvo Pärt has dedicated Symphony No. 4 'Los Angeles' to Mikhail Khodorkovsky./ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes, Harpe, Timbales et Percussion

Tonalité : D-Moll - Horn, Paul (Arr.) -. Par NAUMANN JOHANN GOTTLIEB. Johann Gottlieb Naumann, who today is becoming increasingly well known, achieved recognition during his lifetime as a composer of operas, among them the first Swedish “national opera, ” Gustaf Wasa. In addition he wrote a large number of sacred compositions for the Court of Dresden, where he was employed for many years, including the present Missa in D minor, which was still performed well into the 20th century. This work, probably composed for Christmas in 1794, displays a decidedly pastoral character in the Gloria and Agnus Dei and moreover, is distinguished by charming solo woodwind parts. / Messe / Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,

Par MONTGOMERY WES. In his brief career, Wes Montgomery completely revolutionized jazz guitar. On the Riverside recording Boss Guitar Wes demonstrates why he is still considered as one of the finest artists of the jazz guitar. Studies of Wes' incredible solos, his melodic, rhythmic and harmonic approaches will prove beneficial to any guitarist with interest in jazz. It is no wonder that he has influenced so many of today's great artists, and continues to inspire the future jazz guitarists. This note-for-note guitar transcription of Wes Montgomery's legendary recording Boss Guitar, contains not only the melody lines and solos, but also Wes' chord choices during organ solos. This gives you authentic transcriptions of six of the finest tunes on this record. Every single note played by Wes is transcribed in both standard and tablature notation. Includes: 'The Trick Bag” - 'Fried Pies” - a beautiful interpretation of 'Days of Wine and Roses” - and more. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Jazz - Transcribed Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures

with Bagatelle in A minor WoO 59 'Für Elise'. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. This edition brings together all of Beethoven's pieces that he himself associated with the term 'bagatelle', a trifle. The Bagatelles reflect Beethoven's diverse compositional cosmos in miniature and span almost his entire oeuvre from 1801/02 to 1824/25. In terms of playing technique, they range from moderate dexterity to demanding virtuosity. In addition to the well-known collections opp. 33, 119 and 126, ten more pieces were found after Beethoven's death in an envelope labelled ?Bagatelles?. These included the revised version of ?Für Elise? as well as two further revisions of bagatelles which appear here in print for the first time. Beethoven conceived the cycle, still known today as 'op. 119' ? although this opus number did not stem from him ? as two separate projects with five and six pieces respectively. Our edition presents these two collections separately for the first time, as Beethoven proposed. Variants, additions and revisions in the first print that go beyond the main manuscript source and were most likely intended by Beethoven are presented in grey print. A variety of new insights, an informative Foreword and insightful notes on Viennese piano playing in Beethoven's time (German/English) as well as a detailed Critical Commentary (Eng) offer the performer an abundance of information and a new perspective on Beethoven's bagatelle oeuvre. / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Recueil / Piano
