This is a new printing on sturdy, acid-free paper.
Preparatory Studies was issued in 1928,
near the end of period where musical accompaniment was required for films. It was Volume 211 of Schirmer’s Scholastic Series:
“Material for vocal and instrumental Study — from the very easiest to the most difficult.”
The studies assume the organist has standard organ technique and concentrates on the techniques needed to create that professional
theatre organist sound that was so desired. It is not a guide to creating special effects (for that, see
Theatre Organist’s Secrets) but concentrates on the creation
and performance of the standard musical styles. The author also states that though he “naturally has very definite ideas of
registration, he has refrained from expressing them in this volume.” 40 pages. Highest quality guaranteed.
9.5" x 12.5". $20.00.
(Higher shipping charges due to
weight.)
