Sheet music reviews: Play it All!

Kevin Street reviews Play It All! – a set of studies composed by the highly accomplished Polish trumpeter and teacher Sławomir Cichor.

This intriguing set of studies is composed by the highly accomplished Polish trumpeter and teacher Sławomir Cichor. The studies are numbered 1 to 30 and the book starts at around Grade 1 standard, progressing through to Grade 5.

The organisation of the book seems unique in that each study (apart from number 30) has a related variant, meaning each is followed by 1A, 2A and so on.

Study number 30 is in the form of a traditional theme and variations.
