The Rochut/Bordogni Etudes for Trombone or
Euphonium have enjoyed immense popularity over
the years.
If you play the Trombone, Euphonium, or any brass
instrument for that matter, you have most likely have
played and listened to countless hours of them as a
student or teacher in the studio or practice room.
David Ritt composed his 60 Melodious
Accompaniments to compliment Rochut's edition of
Book 1 (original) as duets.
Performed as duets they will be an invaluable
asset to teachers and students, helping them gain
insight into performing these gorgeous melodies and
learning a melodious style of performing on the
Trombone or Euphonium as well as intonation,
rhythm and style.
Book 1 includes Etudes 1-60, the entire collection
of the accompaniments to vocalises from Volume 1
of the Rochut etudes and are contained in a
handsome spiral-bound book of over 80 pages using
9" x 12" full-sized "Concert Style" paper.
Beautifully engraved in bass clef, these
accompaniments are perfectly suited for
intermediate to moderately advanced performers.
The original Rochut Etudes are NOT included in
this collection, just these accompaniments.
The sound clip provided is of etude No. 20
performed by David Ritt (taken from his audio CD of
Nos. 1-20 which are minutely different in
composition from this collection, but close enough to
hear the beauty of the accompaniments).
