"The Beatles - Complete Scores" is a book of the complete Beatles songs transcribed from the original recordings into full score by Tetsuya Fujita, Yuji Hagino, Hajime Kubo and Goro Sato. It's my understanding that there are no publications of the original parts, so this is the only score availab

Thank you for your Professor! "A nice fluegelhorn would sound much better". It's very interesting because the flugel horn and the high bb horn have same length. Usually fluegelhorns have triggers on the 3rd valve (and sometimes on the 1st) to correct intonation and for sure it's an advantage... b

If you are used to play operas on a daily duty, transposing is nothing complicated & needs no tricks. Just transpose the melody. If it is simple stuff like in the Classic Period, think in harmonics. Any "manipulated pitch" has to have a sharp or a flat anyway, reminding you. Transposing just usi

Hello Robson, the low register cannot be produced sufficiently, nor can the intonation be kept at a decent level, as the horn is not built to be played below written c2 (middle space) in F-notation. Pieces requiring top notes like written high g3 (= 4 ledger lines above staff) do not go down beyon

If you read the book, you could see that there was some discussion of that. The speed of the cd is based on the wrong lp speed if it's an e-flat. Also, the harpsichord was tuned in between pitches. So, the intonation isn't necessarily right on. There is an anecdote about how Michael Thompson had l
