composer:	Goedicke, Alexandre
title:	Concert Etude
publisher:	MCA Music
level:	College
range:	a’’
description:	This piece is very fast, very dramatic, very fun, and very impressive when played well, but is not advisable for most young players due to the extended double tonguing. It is often attempted by high school students, but with the multiple-tonguing in addition to its challenging finger technique, the piece is not usually appropriate for that age. The accompaniment is also extremely difficult at tempo (Allegro molto), which limits its practicality.

composer:	Latham, William (1917-)
title:	Suite
publisher:	John Church Co. / Theodore Presser
level:	College
range:	c#’’’
description:	Latham’s Suite consists of three short, contrasting movements: Prelude, Air, and Dance. It is in a style perhaps typical of 1950’s modern music: intervals of 4ths and 5ths predominate the thematic material to create an altered, but “tonal” sound. The Prelude is march-like (Marziale) and features double-tonguing. The Air is rhythmically simple, but melodically challenging due to the sometimes large intervals; it is also somewhat jazz-like in the harmonic content. The Dance is very fast (Presto) and features triple-tonguing; one of the most difficult spots occurs in its triumphal conclusion which contains a long trill on a#” (1st finger to 2nd is awkward). The accompaniment (a piano reduction of the orchestral score) is extremely difficult which may further limit its performance; it is however, very exciting and effective when well done.
