Francais - Anglais - Allemand- Published in 1934 and written by the French flautist and composer Marcel Moyse (1889-1984) De la Sonorité proposes a method to acquire a beautiful sonority on the Flute. Created for the use of advanced flautists the exercises should give a means to the players to transform their sounds and obtain a different and better tone. De la Sonorité is divided into five parts: 1. Timbre and homogeneity of tone in the 3 registers 2. Suppleness of tone (especially in the low register) 3. Attacking and slurring notes 4. Fullness of tone 5. Management of tone in interpretation Considered as a maestro by some musicians Marcel Moyse has composed many Flute methods and exercise books such also published by Alphonse Leduc such as Gammes et Arpèges (1933) Exercices Journaliers (1922) and Mécanisme-Chromatisme (1927). His methods are widely used and recognised worldwide.

French composer and conductor Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Concerto for Bassoon 1963. As with his other wind compositions Être Ou Ne Pas Être for Bass Trombone or Tuba and 3 Trombones was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured in to musical studies by his parents Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor and during the summer he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However in 1921 he began his studies at the ParisConservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican roots often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother into his compositions. Être Ou Ne Pas Être is a highly unusual and modern work for Trombone quartet. The composition exploits tonality rhythm and structure amongst other aspects. However this Tomasi piece suitable for advanced Tuba and Trombone players provides an exciting alternative addition to the instrument's ensemble repertoire.
