Product Name:
Modo per imparare a sonare di tromba
Girolamo Fantini

Description:
DESCRIPTION: Girolamo Fantini (1600 - c1675) was the world's first trumpet soloist who performed works with accompaniment, thus establishing the trumpet in art music. His method for trumpet (published in 1638), presented here in an urtext edition, was the first published book for the instrument. It has become indispensable in the study of correct Baroque performance practices, providing valuable insights into stylistic articulations, ornamenting, military calls, and exercises for learning to play the natural trumpet. It also contains Fantini's seven sonatas for trumpet and organ. 87 pages.

Like several other textbooks offered through Hickman Music Editions, it is too large to be sent as an automatic email when ordering.
