5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon misses a sale, December 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Modern Recorder Player: Treble Recorder - Volume 1 (Paperback)

The Amazon search engine shows "The Modern Recorder Player" by Walter van Hauwe to be out of print. The book SERIES is currently in print, published by SCHOTT, and is a classic of modern and baroque style recorder technique. I have ordered the 3 volumes of the series from another bookseller, and they are currently on their way to me by post.

Volume 1 covers basic technique such as playing position, the all important topic of breathing, articulation, tone production, and some aspects of original music practice.

Vol 2 continues these topics, with more consideration of baroque music.

Vol 3 is devoted to specifically modern recorder techniques for 20th century music.

These books are continually cited by other technique and method authors, and have been classics in the field since their first publication.

Too bad the Amazon search engine would rather show it as 'out of print' than admit they don't carry it. Obviously, users of the Amazon search engine who come up with an 'out of print' message should reconfirm this by other methods, and always remember that even "Books in Print" is merely an advertising medium, listing only those books which publishers pay to list. Smaller publishers and specialty publishers frequently don't list all their books there.

----------Followup--------
The book is no longer shown as out of print, but readers should still be wary of 'out of print' Amazon messages as I originally posted.

I got the series, and found it lives up to its reputation. There is plenty here to keep me busy for the rest of my musical life. The material is well written, well illustrated, and easy to understand. The technical advice is appropriate for anyone from beginner to professional level.

5.0 out of 5 stars This essential text is NOT out of print!, July 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Modern Recorder Player: Treble Recorder - Volume 1 (Paperback)

As the previous reviewer said, this series of three books is indeed not out of print. It is the most complete technical manual for serious recorder players. I use it with all of my pre-professional students, as do many teachers around the world.
