INTRODUCTION 1 with certain characteristic and difficult ‘The aim of these Studies is to make the performer fas passages that are to be found when performing in the orchestra, It has thus been my intention, concerning the passages chosen for presentation, to compose & Study that leads to overcoming these difficulties by the insertion of a carefully chosen segment of the passage. Simultaneously, while reflecting that the difficulties encountered today by the performer are not only of a technical nature, but also often of a rhythmic, melodic or harmonic nature — that difficalties created by contemporary usage that are still little used — I have chosen characteristic rhythms, arpeggios and new scales, such, for example, as the passage by Vito Frazzi, which, based on its chromatic harmonies, presents an unusual progression of rigorously alternating tone and half- tones, making the scale void of any tonality, yet leading us pleasurably to the desired tonality.

As a rule, in rapid staccato pas- sages it is always better to resort to slurring rather than to slow down. Vivacissimo d= 192 (BEDRION SUBTANA - THE BARTERED BRIDE) ast, ——__.
