Only eleven of the over one hundred symphonies by Joseph Haydn are composed in a minor key. Written in the early 1770s, the Symphony Hob. I:52 in C minor bears some similarities to the slightly earlier Symphony in E minor Hob. I:44 (“Mourning”, BA 10988), not only because they both are composed in a minor key but also because they both feature a pair of horns tuned at different pitches. Haydn seems to have experimented with differently tuned horns inspired by an article in Johann Adam Hiller’s journal “Musikalische Nachrichten und Anmerkungen” of July 1770, which suggested to tune the horns a minor third apart in order to expand the total horn range. While Haydn followed this recommendation just like that in the E-minor symphony, he chose to have the horns tuned a major sixth apart (high C and E-flat) in the outer movements of the C-minor symphony Hob. I:52, resulting in an unusual horn sound within the orchestral texture.In continuation of the collaboration between Bärenreiter and G. Henle Verlag, this edition is based on the Urtext of the Complete Edition “Joseph Haydn Works” published by G. Henle Verlag.

The Habits of a Successful Musician series welcomes its newest addition—a book for percussionists that offers a sequential and comprehensive component for developing rudiments! All exercises in the percussion book align with the current exercises for wind players, allowing percussionists to develop basic drum strokes while also providing a musical accompaniment for the wind parts. Rudiments have been intentionally paired with certain wind player fundamentals: Legato/rebound stroke exercises pair with long tones and interval studies. Accent-tap patterns pair with lip slurs and flexibility studies. Buzz roll patterns align with articulation and dynamics studies. The development of basic drum strokes is the key to success for any percussionist. Once mastered, students will be able to apply these skills to any other percussion instrument, including timpani and drum set. Book highlights: The rudiments that accompany the wind players' scale patterns may be interchanged with each scale. The appendix contains additional rudiments that can be subsituted to challenge more advanced players. Snare exercises have been designed to be played on a practice pad. Timpani parts are included for all chorales and chord progression studies.

A visual stereogram represents a 3-D image while looking though a pair of 2-D images. There are special viewers that are used to give this effect where two images viewed through the special device can give a 3-D or stereographic effect. Brubeck's Stereograms for Bass Clef Instruments are musical versions of the graphic form. Brubeck uses familiar folk melodies to create his Stereograms and adds jazzy twists to many of them. The musical version may contain two or three individual parts within a single melodic line, thus the musical 3-D Stereogram is created. Bach’s unaccompanied works have underlying multiple parts in them and Brubeck has been inspired by the Master to create a similar texture in these works. They are suitable encore pieces or performance pieces, alone or grouped into ad hoc suites.Brubeck's music requires rhythmic accuracy and multiple tonal colors, and are especially useful as sight reading tools to keep the performer sharp and on his/her toes. He has also added octave suggestions to allow them to be playable by the widest array of bass clef instruments.Each Stereogram is dedicated to a special musical hero in Brubeck's life. Excellent as study etudes or sight-reading pieces, Stereograms can be performed/practiced by Trombonists, Bass Trombonists, Tubists and Euphoniumists.The thirteen melodies used in Volume I are: You Are My Sunshine, This Little Light of Mine, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, When the Saints Go Marching In, Just a Closer Walk With Thee, Frère Jacques, On Top of Old Smokey, If You're Happy and You Know It, London Bridge is Falling Down, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Jesus Loves Me, Have You Ever Seen a Lassie, Go Tell Aunt Rhody.
