Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas include some of his most popular works as well as some of his most experimental. This course touches on every one of these fascinating pieces, approaching them chronologically, from the terse and powerful first sonata of 1795 to the revolutionary Hammerklavier Sonata of 1818 and the radical last three sonatas of 1820–1822.
If you can play all the music transcribed in this book, you can also be the envy of your music professors. Zappa's mastery of irregular rhythmic groupings, sets him well above not only any other guitarist I know, but also above the VAST majority of percussionists( who SPECIALISE in rhythm .) I divide my time with these scores between trying to play passages, tapping out the rhythm of passages, and marvelling at the uniqueness of Frank's guitar playing. Even if you can't play unusually intricate/complex rhythms, The Frank Zappa Guitar Book is great for keeping any of your more musically skilled friend's egos in check.
The definitive edition (1987) of the piano teaching classic. Includes an introduction by the composer's son Peter Bartók.

Since 1901, Otakar Sevcik's works have formed the basis of many schools of string playing around the world. Thousands of players continue to find Sevcik an invaluable aid to technical development. In practising Sevcik, as in playing scales, etudes, or pieces there are always four main headings to consider: purity of intonation, evenness of tone, exactness of rhythm and physical freedom and ease.

William Russo believes in the importance of the jazz orchestra's contribution to modern music. And he believes that the compositional nature of the jazz orchestra is as important as jazz improvisation: that the jazz orchestra presents a compositional medium of vast potential. This text, the first of its kind, deals with some of the problems to be faced. It discusses the new trend of musical thought that jazz has brought about - the new combinations of instruments, a different harmonic and melodic language, a new and lively view of inversions and voice-leading, resolution and cadence, and an intriguing approach to ensemble writing.
This is a technical book, full of material that is meant to be used by students. Although the writing is brief and practical, the book has a distinct point of view and represents current jazz orchestra procedures, many of which were initiated by Mr. Russo himself.
