No. 15 is the first slow, lyrical etude in the collection, and is a great study for working on tone quality and phrasing. I like a tempo of around eighth-note=72. Take your time on the turns, and remember that the thirty-second notes aren’t nearly as fast as they look.
Hi, I really enjoy reading your blog as a horn student, and I just thought I’d comment because I thought it was interesting that your Kopprash project has lined up almost perfectly with my progression through the book. I just started on number 15 yesterday, and now you’ve posted a video!
