Good News

Alry Publishers, a well-known publisher of mostly flute music has been purchased by a group in Seattle, Washington who will continue the business. They have a fine new web site at http://www.alrypublications.com/  They also have plans to expand their offerings to other instruments so this will definitely be a place to go for sheet music. The have published a number of my flute ensembles and a set of pieces for clarinet ensemble has been sent to them for review.

 

Do you get "Flute Talk" magazine? They printed one of my "freebies", Minuet (Old Style) from The Wand of Youth by Elgar for flute duet in the January issue.

Player's quinte* of the month:

 

 

 

"Take special care with materials you will be tempted to label 'easy.' While massive concentrations of 16ths and 32nds have a certain delicious and enticing appeal, ...nothing may be more difficult to master than the slower sections of the great solo, chamber, and symphonic works." ~ Leon Russianoff, Clarinet Method Book II

   

 

 

 

 

 

 Have fun playing
