With so much atonal music being written today, we've long needed an etude book like this not only to train our fingers and chops to play this music, but also to train our ears and minds to hear and think in terms of atonal music to the point where we feel comfortable with it, T'm glad this book finally exists Warren Deck Principal Tuba Player New York Philharmonic This book is a welcome addition to the Etude Repetoire, which needs more advanced harmonic and rhythmic material Low Brass Players need to develop greater rhyth- mic skills and this book provides many difficult prob- lems to be solved by even the most advanced player. David Langlitz Co-Principal Trombonist Metropolitan Opera Orchestra Contemporary Etudes illustrates the very difti- cult harmonic and rhythmic phrases written by many of today’s contemporary composers, These exercises further develop and facilitate the ability to read modern music on sight. It’s a great addition not only for Brass players, but for any instrumentalist.
