[Trombone-l] Blazhevich Clef Studies

[Raymond Horton]

The orignsl version of the Blazehvich, which doesn't appear to be 
available right now, is not as extreme in clef changing as is 
Hunsberger's edition.  Hunsberger added many more clef changes, to the 
point of near absurdity.  John is correct in that, as a general rule, 
composers do not mix alto or tenor clef in the same work, but practicing 
changing beween either of the C clefs and bass clef is useful and 
necessary.
