150년 넘게 "트럼펫 연주자의 바이블"로 불리며 지금까지도 많은 사랑을 받고 있는 트럼펫 교본으로 프랑스의 비르투오소 트럼펫 연주자이자 지휘자, 작곡가, 교육자였던 장-바티스트 아르방(Jean-Baptiste Arban 1825-1889)이 쓴 레슨들을 도버 출판사에서 한 권으로 엮은 책입니다. 348 페이지 분량에 아르방이 교사와 연주자로서 오랜 기간 동안 쌓은 경험을 바탕으로 아티큘레이션, 텅잉, 슬러, 톤, 음역 등 트럼펫 연주에 필수적인 테크닉과 연습곡들을 담은 레슨북입니다.

"The trumpeter's bible" for over 150 years, this complete pedagogical method contains hundreds of exercises, beginning with basics and progressing to advanced compositions, including the author's famous arrangement of "Carnival in Venice." J. B. Arban discusses every aspect of playing---including articulation, tonguing, slurs, tone, and range---sharing the knowledge he acquired from many years of experience as a teacher and performer. He offers an appreciation of all the instrument's inherent difficulties as well as instructive points that touch upon all possible musical questions. The Paris Conservatory's Committee on Music Study noted, "This work is rich in instructive advice, is based upon the best of fundamental principles, and omits not a single instructive point which might be needed for the development and gradual technical perfection of a player." This edition features an Introduction and expert commentary by an instructor well versed in the Arban Method.
