Dear Readers-
So sorry for the stretch between postings of woodwind nature and
lore!!!
I am busy writing my own original arrangements and practicing for a concert series
this summer, whereon I will be soloing on the compositions of the 5 main composers
of the Great American Songbook (1926 to 1966). This will be with the Nassau Pops Orchestra, from June 18 to
July 19. Please try to attend if
in this area.
Newly posted articles will appear in the next several weeks,
I promise!!!
One on how "Excitation and Inhibition" plays such an important part
in the regulation of our central nervous system, and how this affects our motor
skills--- the fingers!!!!
The 2nd will be Etude #14: 'Contemporary Arpeggios',
since current works are so much focusing on 4th and 6/9 chords.
Traditional triads and 7th chord
practice no longer prepares for a facile technique in contemporary works. These etudes will familiarize you with these unusual structures.
Please check frequently for these exciting and informative posts.
Please, please give me comments and feedback; we all need encouragement.
Sincerely,
Errol Weiss Schlabach
