Frequently asked questions
These etudes and duets are written for more advanced players, yet each piece can be played with the audio tracks at three tempos: slow, medium, and fast.
These audio tracks were originally provided using two CDs. The tracks are now digital downloads which you can place on your own device for easy access. You will receive a download link for the audio files immediately after your purchase of the book.
The parts reference CD tracks but the track numbers correspond to the digital track numbers.
The book is available in different transpositions. If you play trombone and you want to play the etudes and duets with a trumpet player (or an instrument in a different clef/transposition), then you will need to purchase an additional copy for that transposition. In the video, Arturo is reading from the Bb Instrument version and I am reading from the Bass Clef version of the book.)
