 European Sheet Music
Author: Simon

Does anyone know of exercise shet music specifically written for eastern european music, i.e. Macedonian, Bulgarian Turkish etc.

I posted this on the ethnic BB but had no replys. I am having problems with improvisation and wonder if there are specific exercise books to help with this.

Best regards

Simon

I don't think I saw your response on the Ethnic Clarinet BB...

At any rate, the only books I know of for _exercises_ on this stuff are written in Cyrillic characters, in Bulgarian, and for instruments which are not clarinet.

There are a couple of books available (in the US at least) which have notations for Eastern European _tunes_...

Softcover, spiral-bound, or 194 pp. Music, words, and translations to approximate 93 arrangements, suggested orchestrations. Chords are maraked for many. Includes basic pronunciation guide for 10 languages and a source of recorded music for all songs.
