註釋This book presents the "vocal side" of Chopin's music by focusing on the melodic lines of his music. As such, this book provides practicing materials that will challenge brass players both, technically and artistically. Some of the benefits of playing Chopin's music as transcribed for brass include: 1) The exposure to melodically and harmonically complex music from the Romantic era; 2) The practice of intricate ornaments such as trills, turns, and ad libitum passages not usually found in brass etudes (with the exception of Theo Charlier's 36 Trascendental Etudes); 3) The interpretation of musical styles--such as the Nocturnes, Ballades, and Mazurkas--which are not common in any of the brass instruments' repertoire. Throughout this book, players will find transcriptions--modified by the author to fit the register and technique of brass players--of, among others, Chopin's Polish Songs, Op. 74; Eccoisases; Mazurkas; Waltzes; Etudes; and a Nocturne. In some cases, the author had to transpose pieces---for example, the Mazurka in B-flat Major, Op. 17/1 was transposed a minor third lower to the key of G Major--to better fit the trumpet's register. The author also provides performance notes for each composition. These notes serve as a guide to Chopin's expressive intentions as well as giving technical guidance to the brass performer. The performer is also encouraged to listen to the artistic interpretation of other musicians--especially pianists but also other instrumentalists playing Chopin transcriptions--to gain further insights into each piece.
