[Aaron · Rating 5 out of 5]

Does anyone ever "finish" etudes? Like Marcus Aurelius, this book is full of ideas that deserve attention and reconsideration. Unlike Aurelius (maybe I'm just a numb skull), I find these etudes a lot more relevant to most brass players looking to turn the ceiling into the floor.
