[Trombone-l] Blazhevich Back in Print!

[Charles De Paolo]

The Vich is Back!

As promised, I'm letting you all know that the Blazhevich Clef Studies book is available once again.  It's now properly entitled "School for Trombone in Clefs" and includes, as an added bonus, the previously unpublished "Alto Studies."  Here's the blurb:

The School for Trombone in Clefs (a.k.a. "Clef Studies") is now available in a newly revised urtext edition. The School for Clefs first appeared in 1925. A later edition appeared in 1939 that represented the full maturation of the composer's ideas. Today's new "original authentic" edition is based on that final 1939 Russian publication. It corrects errors and omissions found in previous editions which had been based on the 1925 version. It also removes all non authentic editorial content such as dynamics, articulations and tempo indications, and the original Forward by Blazhevich has been restored. Thus, in this edition, the music and text are returned to their authentic state, exactly as Blazhevich intended. As an added feature, each section of the book and many of the individual studies have been annotated by Ward Stare, principal trombonist of the Lyric Opera of Chicago. 

BONUS: Alto Studies: Also included as a bonus in this new edition are the Alto Studies, previously unpublished and available here for the first time. Covering 50 pages, these 41 fully developed studies help the trombonist not only gain basic ability on the alto trombone, but also obtain technical proficiency to full mastery of the instrument. Also appropriate for alto clef study on the tenor trombone. 161 pages total. 

The book is being formally released as a "New Issue" this week and will soon be available from all the usual suspects, either from their own stock or on a special order basis.
