The Art of Baroque Trumpet Playing

The renowned author and performer has condensed his experiences as a pioneering teacher of this historical brass instrument at the famous Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in 3 volumes. Primarily intended for players of natural and Baroque trumpets, the book is nevertheless indispensable for players of modern instruments who wish to interpret music of the Baroque in an informed and appropriate manner. A variety of exercises, examples from the repertoire and from 19th-century tutors combine to offer a systematic course of instruction to help solve technical and musical problems, especially those inherent in ensemble playing.

Edward H. Tarr is a pioneer in the reintro - duction of historical brass instruments, and has made countless recordings on natural trumpet, low F trumpet, and cornett, whilst not neglect ing the modern instrument.
He has toured all over the world, has been adviser to several musical instrument manufacturers, and has produced scholarly editions of many important trumpet concerti as well as a book, The Trumpet, published in German by Schott (ED 8871). His activities in the world of musical education include teaching historical trumpet at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and modern trumpet at the Basel Conservatory, as well as guest
professor ships and master classes in places like Stockholm, Oslo, Copen hagen, Helsinki, Cracow, Moscow, Mel bourne, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Tallahassee, Messina, Lyons, Lucerne, and Vaduz. He is also a sought-after juror at major international competitions.
Edward H. Tarr has been director of the Bad Säckingen Trum pet Museum since its inception in 1985.
