Rubank Elementary Method (Clarinet).A Fundamental Course for Individual or Like-Instrument Class Instruction.One of the most widely used series of methods for individual or like-instrument class instruction. Using a very well-rounded approach including scales, arpeggios, technical studies, studies for musicianship, articulation studies, solos, duets, and studies devoted to the special needs of each instrument, this series provides a fantastic wealth of material for all student musicians.

These excellent studies are the next step for students who have completed the advanced level method for their instrument. The full-page etudes in this series, key-centered and supported by scale and arpeggio exercises, take the student to that next level of performance wherein their accumulated skills allow them to play full-length performance pieces with a high level of musicianship and competence. As such, many states include these pieces in their all-state audition lists.

Una colección ideal para un estudiante que actúa por primera vez en un concurso o recital. También incluye grabaciones complementarias de todas las piezas, así como acompañamientos de piano grabados para practicar o interpretar. Se accede al audio en línea para descargarlo o transmitirlo.

Las circunstancias en las que surgieron estas poéticas “Soirée Pieces” (de ahí su título original) son bastante sorprendentes. En 1849, Dresde se vio afectada por una violenta agitación política que finalmente obligó a Schumann a huir con Clara al campo. Sin embargo, nada de esto es evidente en la música de estas tres piezas, cuyo carácter idílico significa un anhelo de armonía y aislamiento. Originalmente concebidos para clarinete, ya en la impresión original se acompañaron de piezas alternativas para violín y violonchelo. Hemos sometido nuestras ediciones a una crítica exhaustiva e incluimos una sección de notas editoriales detalladas.

• Fantasy Pieces for Piano and Clarinet op. 73
• Zart und mit Ausdruck op. 73,1
• Lebhaft, leicht op. 73,2
