Bordogni Vocalises, Volume 4

Transcribed by David Schwartz &

Solo book in bass clef with a cd of synthesized piano accompaniments for twelve challenging Bordogni vocalises. This selection corresponds to numbers 61 to 72 in Book II of Johannes Rochuts Melodious Etudes as published by Carl fischer (item # SM1595).

"David Schwartz's books of Bordogni etudes with accompaniment CD are a great addition to my active teaching and practicing materials. I use them to promote good intonation, rhythm, musicality, memorization and ensemble techniques. The simplicity of the accompaniments provides structure but places the musical responsibility upon the trombonist. Buzzing along with the CD in the car is a fun and easy, no-hands approach that not only serves as a good warm-up, but improves clarity of pitch and flexibility with pleasant melodies rather than rigid exercise." - Scott Hartman, Boston University and Yale University
