Maxime-Alphonse: Etudes nouvelles - Cahier 3

These studies will help the student to familiarise himself with rhythms, designs and intervals he is bound to meet frequently in the orchestra. Some of the difficulties which at first sight might seem new and hopeless will be easily mastered after an extensive and thorough practice. To achieve this goal, one should never try to play all the studies through from start to finish, over and over again, but should work at them in small portions, even bar by bar. In this way, each portion will make a study in itself helping the student to master the various difficulties of his instrument.
