Here it is, the secret is out! THE book for every piccoloist starts with a comprehensive guide to the all-important fingerings for the smallest flute. If you are using the traditional fingerings, the same used for the flute, you need this book. The piccolo is not the flute, and requires its own approach for effective performance. Jan Mr. Piccolo Gippo provides all of the primary fingerings, along with many alternatives that help to solve problems in sonority and blend with other instruments. This is something he has studied over many seasons as the piccoloist for the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. He then offers all of the trill fingerings, as well. There follows anexcellent overview of the history and importance of the piccolo, as well as an exhaustive and comprehensive repertoire listing, an invaluable resource all on its own. This important 64-page guide to the piccolo is printed in octavo size for convenience and attractively priced for every piccoloist.

Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won’t even notice the difference, other than all the notorious errors being fixed: the covers and typeface look the same, the song list is nearly identical, and the price for our edition is even cheaper than the original! Every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced accurately and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest tunes of all time!
