One of the hardest things for an instrumentalist to find is a collection of "parts" to major orchestral works. Unless you work in a music store, you just don't have access to the "first flute part" to "Beethoven's third symphony". We are excited to offer you this huge collection of instrumental "parts" (not the melodies, not arrangements - the original ensemble parts) to a great selection of orchestral masterworks.
This CD-ROM has the complete bassoon and contrabassoon parts to 90 orchestral standards, from Beethoven to Cherubini. Insert the CD-ROM into your computer, and using any PDF viewer (free from Adobe.com), you can view and print as many copies of your instrument's parts as desired. Whether you're auditioning for the Philadelphia Orchestra, preparing for an audition that is still years in the future, or just playing along with a great orchestral recording, you're sure to appreciate the outstanding utility and tremendous value you'll receive when you purchase this CD-ROM.
Please note - this is a CD of PDF format computer files, not a book of sheet music. |  | |
