Marco Bordogni

Melodious Etudes For Performance

Trombonist and composer Alan Raph, has devised another collection that will be a major enrichment of the repertoire of material available for recital use by students of the trombone. In Melodious Etudes for Performance, Raph has selected ten of the most melodic etudes Rochut included in his collections (Melodious Etudes, Books 1, 2 & 3), which were based in turn on the celebrated vocalises of master vocal pedagogue Marco Bordogni (1789-1856), and added two not found in Rochut. He has also included six duets composed by Bordogni that are very expressive and lyrical. This is a fine collection for players and students seeking usable, enjoyable repertoire for trombone performance.
