39 ETUDES for Euphonium (treble clef)

The impetus for writing 39 Etudes began as a desire to provide the tubist or euphonium player with study materials designed to attack specific technical problems. Although the tubist is working with a longer air column than are players of other brass instruments, there is no reason to assume that he/she cannot play with equal facility, clarity, accuracy, smoothness of slurs, and purity of intonation.
It is my assumption that tubists or euphonium players playing these etudes will have an instrument with at least four valves; CC or BBb makes no difference for the etudes are specifically designed to overcome problematic areas for both. For reasons of intonation, the most “in tune” valve combinations should always be used, even in the most demanding technical passages, e.g,: 4th valve and 2-4 instead of 1-3 and 1-2-3; for the fifth partial, 1-2 and 2-3, not open and 2. The annotations and preliminary exercises provide helpful tips and highlight important aspects of each etude.
39 Etudes employs different modes, keys, and scales, along with shifting tonalities. It is imperative that the tubist listen carefully to every interval in order to keep the intonation pure and the pitch accurate.
Good luck - - - enjoy!
