Dear Tonys, (Is that the correct plural form?) Wakefield & Pay, and also
Fernando Sylveria
I have just been practicing my new C-clarinet, and I don't see how
I ever lived without it. I have often wondered what the purpose was for
learning Rose Etudes and various things that we study. I know about the
technical and musical reasons, but I am the kind of person who likes to
get out and play all the time. I have no idea who I could perform the
Rose Etudes for. I was barely able to work up #26 for the contest, and I
do believe it's "gone" now, because I don't know anybody who wants to
listen to it. I guess you could say that I'm a show off. When I play for
the "public" it isn't necessarily in a concert hall. (In fact, I played
in a concert hall, this Sunday, for the first time in many years when
our wind ensemble "The Little London Winds" went to lovely Lamar,
Colorado on Sunday for a community concert.) I usually play at art
shows, farmers markets, neighborhood bars and resturants, private
parties and nursing homes.
But the point I am leading up to is that these Brazillian tunes,
most of them by Pixinguina, the Duke Ellington of Brazil, were written,
mostly in 16th notes, with a lovely Samba-like feel. Some of them feel
like a Latin Polka with beautiful syncopation and chord changes. And
they are so much fun to play. I am certain that the public will love
them. Back to practice "Tico Tico" and "Segura Ele" ANNIE
