Trumpeters' and Kettledrummers' Art

... "to enable a wider acceptance of the same, described historically, theoretically and practically and illustrated with examples." Complete English translation of the important original book "Versuch einer Anleitung zur heroisch-musikalischen Trompeter- und Pauker-Kunst..." Altenburg covers many important areas: the trumpet in early times, trumpet and timpani players in the Baroque hierarchy, practical instruction on learning to play the trumpet and timpani, historical and theoretical aspects of the instruments. The use of the instruments both in the past and today and the teacher's responsibility to prepare students for career opportunities. An unparalleled perspective on baroque trumpet matters, a valuable source of information.
