Symphonic repertoire for percussion accessories | GENIS T.
Symphonic repertoire for percussion accessories, by Tim GENIS, is a collection of orchestral excerpts for small percussion. A title from the orchestral repertoire.
Principal Timpanist of the Boston Symphony, head of the percussion department at Boston University and the Tanglewood Institute, and section leader at the Tanglewood Music Center, Tim Genis examines the accessory percussion parts of the major symphonic repertoire. His explanations draw on countless performances under many of the world's finest conductors. Eighteen excerpts are covered, instrument by instrument, and the tambourine even gets its own technical introduction. It is the only book in the series to cover the accessory instruments — the ones rarely practised alone, and the ones that so often catch players out at auditions.
Each analysis is followed by the parts, ready to practise and to perform.
A preparation tool for orchestral auditions and competitions.
In English, 80 pages.
