Title: Classical Overtures for Timpani
Description: This book contains timpani parts for many of the most popular overtures in the symphonic and operatic repertoire, compiled by former Julliard School faculty member Morris Goldenberg. This is a valuable resource for study, performance, or as an audition tool. The parts contained in the book are complete and are the original parts, so no errors or omissions should exist, in contrast with some other repertoire books. Unlike his “Modern School” books, this book contains no personal commentary of any kind.
