Product description
"15 Selections from Arban's Book" is a collection of carefully selected pieces from Arban's legendary method. Based on popular arias from the 19th-century opera repertoire, Jean Baptiste Arban created a large number of solos to explore the variety of phrasing possible on the trumpet and cornet. The composition for this collection was selected and edited by Dr. James Bovinette, who also added piano accompaniment, which he adapted and transposed from the original piano accompaniments used for singing the arias. Trumpeters now have the opportunity to let their instrument sing, while developing their breathing technique, phrasing ability, legato, articulation, and other elements of musical performance and expression.
Joseph Jean-Baptiste Laurent Arban (1825-1889) was a trumpeter, conductor, composer, and teacher whose name is still inextricably linked with the teaching of brass instruments. Arban is best known as the author of the educational work Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet (Cornet), now known simply as the Arban Method. This comprehensive method book remains the basis for trumpet and cornet instruction around the world and has also been adapted for other brass instruments. It is characterized by an emphasis on technical precision, breath control, tone culture, and expression. In addition to methodical études, Arban composed a number of brilliant pieces, primarily for cornet, including the famous variations on "Carnival in Venice," which have become an iconic repertoire for competitions and concert performances. Jean-Baptiste Arban's systematic approach, emphasis on musical beauty, and technical perfection have influenced generations of players and teachers. His legacy lives on—not only through his method books, but also through his teaching style, which laid the foundations for modern brass pedagogy.
