ÅH NEJ!! IKKE TOM DOOLEY IGEN!Når begyndere har lært de første få akkorder, kan de allerede spille adskillige sange til disse. Problemet er, at de ofte kun har de sange, som de har fået udleveret i forbindelse med undervisning eller er i deres lærebog, og når de kigger i andre sangbøger, er sangene skrevet med akkorder, som de ikke kan endnu. De har tilmed endnu ikke lært at transponere til andre tonearter. De får øvet akkordskiftene på de sange, som de har, men det bliver kedeligt i længden, og interessen risikerer at forsvinde.Denne sangbog kommer begynderen i møde med et udvalg af sange, så hun ikke tærsker på det samme hele tiden. Den er med andre ord ikke en selvstændig guitarskole, men et supplement til de eksisterende.Bogen indeholder også tips til at spille lette sange efter gehør og om at transponere til andre tonearter.

”Kapelmesterens Dagbog” er en gribende fortælling i ord og billeder om den sidste turné med en levende legende. Peter Bellis liv har budt på vilde op- og nedture og det samme gør det sidste år på landevejen i rock`n´rolls tro tjeneste. Kapelmester (bandleder), Marcus Winther-John går helt tæt på i sin beretning om denne unikke rejse i samspil med et unikt billedmateriale fra bag kulisserne, på scenerne og landevejene. Fra Christiania til Smukfest og fra Frederikshavn til Bornholm.”Rock`n´roll er ikke et job som Peter kommer hjem og hænger i skabet som et sæt arbejdstøj efter fyraften. Han investerer sig kompromisløst med hele sin krop og sjæl, 24 timer i døgnet, året rundt! Og det gør bølgerne som livet kommer i euforisk høje eller afgrundsdybe. Måske er det én af grundene til, at det har været så vild en rejse. Jeg kan i hvert fald konstatere her, 7 år, 4 albums, hundredvis af koncerter og ti-tusindvis af kørte kilometer senere, at jobbet som Peter Bellis kapelmester ikke er som noget som helst andet, jeg har haft eller overhovedet hørt om!På mange måder har 2017 været en koncentrat af de følelsesladet, sjove, svære, historiske og til tider surrealistiske oplevelser vi har delt siden 2010. Undervejs har de store opture fået modspil af udfordringer, der i yderste tilfælde har været med livet som indsats. Som Peter selv, har disse 58 afskedskoncerter været mange ting for mange folk … men kedeligt har det aldrig været!”- uddrag fra introduktion, “Kapelmesterens Dagbog”

The book that set the standard for orchestration texts.

Hailed the Trumpet Bible for over 150 years, this complete pedagogical method contains hundreds of exercises for brass instruments, beginning with basics and progressing to advanced compositions, including the author's famous arrangement of "The Carnival in Venice." Sharing the knowledge he acquired from many years of experience as a performer and teacher, Arban discusses every aspect of playing with emphasis on articulation, tonguing, slurs, tone, and range. He offers an appreciation of all the instrument's inherent difficulties as well as instructive points that touch upon all possible musical questions. Whether you are a beginner or an old master, this unabridged republication of the 1912 edition is an asset to trumpet, French horn, and cornet players. Joseph Jean-Baptiste Laurent Arban (1825-1889), the first famed virtuoso of the cornet, applied Niccolò Paganni's virtuosic technique for the violin to the cornet to prove that the cornet is a true solo instrument. From 1841 to 1845, Arban studied trumpet under Francois Dauverné at the Paris Conservatoire. He was appointed professor of sax horn at the École Militaire in 1857 and professor of cornet at the Paris Conservatoire in 1869. Arban devoted his life to music working as a conductor, composer, and professor. His legacy endures in the Arban Method, which continues to be widely studied by modern horn players, along with his masterful arrangement of "The Carnival of Venice," which remains a legendary soloist cornet piece.

The first detailed contextual study of chamber music in Beethoven's Vienna, at a time when the string quartet reigned supreme among the different chamber genresThis book is the first detailed contextual study of string quartets in Beethoven's Vienna, at a time when that genre reigned supreme among the different chamber genres. Focusing on a key transition period in the early nineteenth century, which bore witness to fundamental shifts in the 'private' sphere of music-making, it explores the 'cultivation' of string quartets by composers, critics, listeners, performers, publishers and patrons. The book highlights these parties' interactions, ideas and ideals, which were central to defining the unique cultures of chamber music arising at this time. We gain fresh insights into publishing and marketing, performance venues and practices, review culture, listening theories and practices, and composition in early nineteenth-century Vienna. Until now, the unique theatricality of chamber music, and the 'social' nature of its discourse, has been poorly appreciated. Cultivating String Quartets in Beethoven's Vienna addresses this misconception and enriches our understanding of this crucial period of change, in which concert life began and previously 'private' music was moved out onto the stage.
