Author Biography: Anthony Rowland-Jones

Book Synopsis

This new book is for recorder players, including students and teachers, seeking to enjoy more fully their instrument's varied repertoire of solo sonatas. Rowland-Jones has selected only a small number of sonatas—both well-known and less familiar—and integrates the theoretical and practical aspects of playing. Technical problems are discussed with relation to the interpretative demands, taking into full account the performance practices of each period.
