Product Description

This piece should be fast and exciting, with very precise counting and rhythm. Imagine an old-time steam locomotive chugging down the tracks. Listen for the train whistles in the piano part. By the very end, the ride is over and the train is pulling into its final stop at the station.

This piece is very much influenced by the piano piece Le Chemin de Fer, by Charles-Valentin Alkan. I highly recommend you find a recording of this piano piece to listen to. Dont try to play Train Ride that fast though! My recording of the bassoon piece is at quarter note at 164. You need not play it that fast. So long as your playing has energy, very solid steady beat, and tongued notes are clear, that will carry the feel of the piece.

 

Time: ca. 2:00-3:00, depending on tempo choice

Key: D minor

Range: D2-Eb4

I would use this piece with my second or third year students. Younger students should play it on the slower side. More advances students can aim for a faster tempo and use this as a great opportunity to work on keeping fast eighth note passages even.

Once the student has purchased this piece, an adjudicators copy may be made. Teachers may purchase individual copies for each students use. Studio licensing is not available.
