Horn Fundamentals

Description

This book is a compilation of the basic rudimentary exercises Bruno Schneider has used as a matter of routine to keep the requisite physical shape to endure the rigors of a demanding orchestral, solo, and chamber music career. They also represent the underlying concepts and principles of technical issues. Efficiency in technical development requires patience, creative imagination, and a dedication to the ultimate goal of technical perfection.
