Treble Recorder-ABC /14188/

Because students generally begin playing the treble recorder only after several years' study of the descant recorder, Treble Recorder ABC is not intended for beginners but presupposes a basic knowledge of musical concepts and instrumental technique. László Czidra (1940-2000), the Hungarian recorder player and teacher known all over the world, set three main educational objectives in compiling the volume: to enable students to acquire the transposing manner of reading of the instrument tuned to F; to give a systematic technical foundation; and to make the students acquainted, at least on the level of skills, with the ornamentation and variation practice of the Renaissance and the Baroque, two eras providing the majority of the repertory for the instrument.
