Free Books of Other Folks' Material

[the elephant]

As far as I know, since I took all these from the originals, there is nothing covered by copyright law in these four volumes. I have used this for many years, but just did an old-guy edition, using the settings from my final versions of my brass quintet Christmas stuff.

The staves are larger, the lines bolder, etc. In short, it is much easier for me to read.

My well-thumbed copy that lives permanently on my studio stand is harder for me to read, very thick, and heavy, so I decided to break it into four volumes. Lots of half-pagers are now full-pagers, and lots of full-pagers are now two-pagers.

I have derived many benefits from the ideas behind this collection, and I will likely work from it every day for the rest of my life. This is one of the best pedagogical ideas I have ever had, if I do say so, myself. ;-)

Take a FREE copy. Use it for a few months. Toss it if you don't "get" it. Keep it forever if you do. It is handy for many things. I won't post how to use it. Make music and listen to your intonation very carefully. You'll figure it out or you won't.

Yes, I released a very early draft of this book many years ago. This one is in all ways better than that version. And yes, someone decided to use this same title several years after I put together my book. I have never seen a copy of their book, nor do I care to know anything about it. I have no idea who put it together.

I may decide to have this book published at some point. I will fuss over the name at that time if I have to. Meanwhile, grab yourself a freebie.

Good luck!

Thanks for posting this! This looks like it took a lot of work.

I just had a look through everything and noticed that Bordogni is spelled "BordogniT" in the fourth volume.

I also chuckled at this:

This is one of the best pedagogical ideas I have ever had.

I won't post how to use it.

Looking forward to seeing for myself!

Spelling fixed, and THANK YOU for that. If you note anything else please pass it on to me; I'll fix it and repost it ASAP.

Download another copy of 4, if you would be so kind…

Thank you! always looking for more music to play!
That clearly took a lot of work, that you for your generosity

I'm so glad that I decided to learn to play non-transposed parts (like the rest of the world) so that I am actually able to use it instead of of selecting specific parts and transposing those myself
