Subj: [kl] ROSE ACCOMPANIMENTS COST

Rose accompaniments cost

The price mentioned in the posting, although sounding like a lot, is not
really that exorbitant.

You have to consider the fee of the person who wrote the accompaniments.
Then the cost of the engraving. And that is a lot of work. Then you have
the printing.

It's a lot money perhaps, but then consider the value of having those
accompaniments for the teacher to play with the student.
The student gets a chance to hear what his practicing is leading to.

At the beginning of the century violinists could buy accompaniments to
all the Fiorillo and Kreutzer etudes they were learning.
Nowadays, one does not see those things around much.

While I'm at it, my own Clarinet Method book 2 has a lot of chord
symbols over many of the pieces and they sound very nice.
A pupil can feel as if he's playing part of a concerto or something. The
pieces are generally just 5-6 lines long.

The book is published by Waterloo Music in Canada
and sold in the States by Luyben Music.
