Description

Product Description This new edition of The Keyed Bugle is an expansion rather than a revision of the first edition. The performance practice discussion has been extended to cater to the needs of the reader who wishes to learn the instrument. All chapters contain new information, and the chapters on Performers, Makers and Sellers have been extensively expanded. An additional chapter offers an explanation of the peculiarly distinct acoustics of keyed bugles and provides an analysis of construction styles employed by particular makers. After closely researching instruments that have been documented by the signatures of specific firms and comparing them with unmarked examples, the author enables readers to make confident observations on the nature of regional and manufacturer's styles. The new research in this area provides the groundwork for informed speculation about the origins of undocumented keyed bugles. This work puts the best of current research on the instrument into book form and provides the collector, performer, and serious music student with a clear picture of the instrument's history, repertoire, and technique. Review ...an outstanding study of practically everything that is known about the instrument and its use in Western music culture. You will want the new edition because so much has been added and revised. First editions may often be collectors' items, but in this case, because of the strength of the additions and revisions, the second edition will certainly be the definitive work for scholars and collectors alike....this edition adds a wonderful amount of useful information....What was a fine study of the instrument has become, I believe, a classic work among the writings about individual instruments.--Historic Brass Society Journal Ralph Dudgeon's The Keyed Bugle provides a clear picture of the instrument's history, repertoire and technique....This beautifully presented edition contains a wealth of information about the original design and development of the keyed bugle and its use in Europe and the United States, along with many fascinating and often amusing pictures....It is clear from page one that Ralph Dudgeon has done a vast amount of research and uncovered a wealth of information...The Keyed Bugle is the definitive book on the subject and I strongly recommend that every brass player and those with an interest in the history of brass reads this book...--The Brass Herald This much-improved edition replaces the former one. Highly Recommended.--CHOICE About the Author Ralph T. Dudgeon is Professor of Music at the State University of New York, College at Cortland where he teaches courses in music history. He is an active performer on modern and period instruments and has appeared as a soloist and conductor throughout the United States and Europe.
