Boothroyd, Austin: Up And Away

Up And Away, Twelve Pieces for French Horn and Piano by Austin Boothroyd.

Up And Away is designed to enable the beginner to experience the satisfaction of performing with others from the very first lesson up to the time when the student has acquired enough skill to be able to perform confidently with a school band or orchestra. The twelve pieces are arranged in order of increasing difficulty; notes, rhythmic figures , dotted notes, ties, rests, dynamic markings, slurs etc. Are all introduced carefully. Three pieces concentrate on the important skill of pitching different notes without the aid of a change in fingering.
