For nearly 150 years Jean-Baptiste Arban's 14 studies have been an essential part of a brass player's practice routine. This edition includes imaginative piano accompaniments written to reflect the nature of the solo part & enhance the soloist's practice whilst lending these studies also to the concert repertoire. The CD that accompanies this edition contains accompaniments in 3 tempi. One for slow practice, one for general performance & then one for the virtuoso!
