Also for decades, I have offered these books to whoever wanted copies, but most people have had little success with them as they are "too hard" (having been tailored specifically to feature the strengths of two specific professional players).
And again, for decades, I have received requests to tone these down a bit and make them more accessible, which would have required me to rearrange them. Some of them would have to be pitched down as much as a fourth, but some would have to be completely reimagined from scratch.
And finally — also for decades — I have been too lazy to do this.
Since my wife retired her super chops have started to atrophy, and her aggressive practice has dwindled to about an hour every other day. Now SHE is asking me to dial these back. "They're too hard or too high for me now."
*sigh*
OKAY! I get it. I'll rewrite the whole, dang book.
DONE.
And yes, to the players who have requested this (for decades) a version for euph and tuba has been done, but will not be available until October or November. It, too, will be free.
Some of these will be too hard for some players. Most will work fine with practice. The margins are set to allow holes to be punched for spiral ("coil") binding by a print shop. I have busted my butt to make these as large and readable as possible. Click the link above. Grab a hornist. Take this book for a spin.
Now shut up and go make some music!
