The 2009-2014 Outlook for Non-Electronic Cornets, French Horns, Trombones, Trumpets, Tubas, and Other Brass Wind Musical Instruments in Greater China

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Non-Electronic Cornets, French Horns, Trombones, Trumpets, Tubas, and Other Brass Wind Musical Instruments in Greater China Review



This econometric study covers the latent demand outlook for non-electronic cornets, French horns, trombones, trumpets, tubas, and other brass wind musical instruments across the regions of Greater China, including provinces, autonomous regions (Guangxi, Nei Mongol, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Xizang - Tibet), municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin), special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and Taiwan (all hereafter referred to as "regions"). Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given across some 1,100 cities in Greater China. For each major city in question, the percent share the city is of the region and of Greater China is reported. Each major city is defined as an area of "economic population", as opposed to the demographic population within a legal geographic boundary. For many cities, the economic population is much larger that the population within the city limits; this is especially true for the cities of the Western regions. For the coastal regions, cities which are close to other major cities or which represent, by themselves, a high percent of the regional population, actual city-level population is closer to the economic population (e.g. in Beijing). Based on this "economic" definition of population, comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city's marketing and distribution value vis-a-vis others. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

Music Minus One Tenor Sax, Alto Sax or Trumpet: Boots Randolph: Nashville Classics

Music Minus One Tenor Sax, Alto Sax or Trumpet: Boots Randolph: Nashville Classics Review



Boots Randolph is a modern day legend in music. As a tenor saxophonist he's appeared with every major Nashville artist of the past 40 years. Artists such as Elvis, Roy Orbison, Chet Atkins, Buddy Holly, Floyd Cramer, Alabama, Johnny Cash-the list is almost endless. He does more than just play the saxophone. More than just pop out music notes. His sax sounds like it can sing, can talk, can almost speak to deaf ears. His ability is awesome. His versatile style has no equal! Boots is here presenting a program of Nashville Classics with a rhythm section, first playing each piece, and then stepping aside for the at-home player to take the solo role. Song Listing: Crazy, You Don't Know Me, Good Hearted Woman, Night life Near You, Green, Green Grass Of Home, Busted, Java, Nint To Five, Last Date, Pretty Woman

Kennan: Sonata for Bb Trumpet and Piano ~ The Revised 1986 Edition (Piano Part with Pull-out Part for Bb Trumpet) (Contemporary Works for Brass Instruments)

Kennan: Sonata for Bb Trumpet and Piano ~ The Revised 1986 Edition (Piano Part with Pull-out Part for Bb Trumpet) (Contemporary Works for Brass Instruments) Review



The Revised 1989 Edition (Piano Part with Pull-out Part for Bb Trumpet). From the Introduction: The Sonata for Trumpet and Piano was commissioned by the National Association of Schools of Music and first published in 1956. The present revised version differs from the original one in the following respects: Passages that involve uneven groupings (5/8.7/8, etc.) or segments of varying lengths have been renotated using their "true" meter signatures rather than in a consistent meter with irregular beaming or accents. Although the latter notation was once felt to be easier to read, it tends to seem unnatural and even confusing to today's performers, for whom uneven and changing meters have long since become routine. The coda of the first movement, which the composer came to feel was too extended and repetitive, has been shortened somewhat. This change also reduces the tendency of that movement to seem disproportionately long in relation to the others. Metronome indications, which were originally about one notch too fast (because of a faulty metronome used in determining them) have been corrected. Portions of the piano part have been altered slightly. for reasons too various lo detail here. "In addition to four LP recordings of the Sonata issued some years ago, there is now a recording by Raymond Mase. Trumpet, and David Pearl, piano, on a compact disc entitled "Trumpet in our time" (Summit Records, DCD 148). Kent Kennan, January 1997
