Hailed the Trumpet Bible for over 150 years, this complete pedagogical method contains hundreds of exercises for brass instruments, beginning with basics and progressing to advanced compositions, including the author's famous arrangement of "The Carnival in Venice." Sharing the knowledge he acquired from many years of experience as a performer and teacher, Arban discusses every aspect of playing with emphasis on articulation, tonguing, slurs, tone, and range. He offers an appreciation of all the instrument's inherent difficulties as well as instructive points that touch upon all possible musical questions. Whether you are a beginner or an old master, this unabridged republication of the 1912 edition is an asset to trumpet, French horn, and cornet players. Joseph Jean-Baptiste Laurent Arban (1825-1889), the first famed virtuoso of the cornet, applied Niccolò Paganni's virtuosic technique for the violin to the cornet to prove that the cornet is a true solo instrument. From 1841 to 1845, Arban studied trumpet under Francois Dauverné at the Paris Conservatoire. He was appointed professor of sax horn at the École Militaire in 1857 and professor of cornet at the Paris Conservatoire in 1869. Arban devoted his life to music working as a conductor, composer, and professor. His legacy endures in the Arban Method, which continues to be widely studied by modern horn players, along with his masterful arrangement of "The Carnival of Venice," which remains a legendary soloist cornet piece.

In this bold and uncompromising book, George G. M. James argues that the "Greek philosophy" in which nearly all of Western culture has its roots actually originated in ancient EgyptDrawing on careful historical research and a radical rethinking of the conventional narrative of Greek history, James asserts that our celebration of the ancient Greeks as the creators of Western civilization and philosophy is misattributed. In fact, he argues, our praise rightfully belongs to the people of Africa. Furthermore, this massive intellectual and cultural theft has helped lend credence to the damaging notion that the entire continent of Africa has contributed nothing to world civilization. James explorers documented connections between celebrated Greek philosophers and the influence of Egyptian thought, proposing other possible links between northern Africa and Greece as well. An important book for understanding the history of philosophy, culture, and race in the modern world, Stolen Legacy is not to be missed.If you would like to see the more economical Allegro Editions paperback version of Stolen Legacy, please search ISBN 1635610575.
