"Some people can't wait to get to Kopprasch, others avoid it like the plague. Like it or not, it is an important part of our horn heritage. In his Preface to Le petit Kopprasch, Pascal Proust says, 'This collection is recognised by all teachers as indispensable for overcoming the main difficulties in learning the horn. It seemed useful to us to offer younger players the opportunity to work on these exercises much earlier in their course of study. This is why we are publishing these 25 studies, chosen from the most representative, simplified and reworked for our modern instrument.'
This is an interesting concept with good intentions. In fact, what we find in this edition is 18 different etudes reworked to be somewhat easier to play, including transposing them or revising them fit into a narrower range (overall e-a"), and simplifying or omitting certain sections or passages that would be problematic to younger players. One etude, for example, (Number 4 from op. 6) appears four times in different transpositions; four other etudes also appear in multiple transpositions. Most in this volume are from op. 6 (the low horn etudes), with a few from op. 5, but Kopprasch is Kopprasch. Then again, this volume might be better known as "Kopprasch Lite." I like Kopprasch, so it is easy for me to recommend this edition, though moving on to the originals as soon as possible would be desirable. If you know the originals, there is a difference-some revisions make sense, others seem a bit forced. If you don't know them, this volume makes a good introduction, which is the reason it exists." - Jeffrey Snedecker, The Horn Call (May 2013)
