The subject of music theory is taught at many places: music schools, conservatories, continuing-education seminars for laymen... Up to now, however, there has been no didactically perfected yet thoroughly comprehensive concept. Wieland Ziegenrücker, whose pedagogical classic "ABC Musik Allgemeine Musiklehre" has confirmed his expertise with the material, has coordinated his "Praktische Musiklehre" with the syllabi of the "Verband deutscher Musikschulen" (VdM) and tested it extensively in the classroom. Ziegenrücker places great importance on aural training and consistently incorporates it into his method from the very start. This is why the three books of the "Praktische Musiklehre" each contain a CD. Books 2 and 3 take the music-theory method all the way to simple song harmonizations, which corresponds to an intermediate level in the VdM's syllabus.
Whoever has successfully worked his way through the first books of Wieland Ziegenrücker's "Praktische Musiklehre" (BV 311/312) and is motivated to continue on the path of enlightenment, can now add the finishing touches to his knowledge: In the rhythm section of this method, the author tackles irregularities such as triplets and changes of meter; in the harmony section, we find cadences in Major and Minor as well as the simple harmonization of melodies and for a lively and varied learning experience beat, blues and swing. While the author consistently expands his basic principle, ear training retains its fundamental value. Consequently, this third volume also contains an enclosed CD to allow the user to hear the exercises. Ziegenrücker introduces and illustrates all new items with many music examples, exercises and drills.
Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
