Title: 20th Century Orchestra Studies for Perccusion<\/p>\n

Description: Compiled by former Philadelphia Orchestra Percussionst Alan Abel, the 20th Century Orchestra Studies contain many of the more recently composed orchestral parts for percussion. The book covers a wide variety of composers and pieces as well as containing \u00a0orchestral excerpts for many different percussion instruments. This collection is quite valuable as a study tool, especially considering that many of these pieces are hard to find elsewhere. Unlike the Carroll or Goldenberg books, the parts in Abel\u2019s book are not always complete and, in most cases, could not be used for performance. Like the Goldenberg timpani compilations Abel does not given any kind of personal commentary. However, Abel includes certain instrumental or rhythmic cues which are very helpful when listening or practicing.<\/p>\n
