| These studies have several objectives: - to put into practice all the musical and technical elements addressed in the first two volumes of this method. Some fingerings are indicated - thank you to Sébastien Robert for his advice and suggestions. But learning to find good fingerings in the first four positions is an essential learning from the beginning of instrumental studies: courage! - to get started in the composition. The music of the 21st century will not be that of previous centuries. It seems important that all musicians, amateurs, professionals, students, and already students, can try to write their own music. - to lay the foundations of a method of analysis. If we want to understand how our illustrious elders wrote their works, we should question their music. Many aspects of musical composition are addressed in these studies: shapes, squares, sentences, cadences, melody, harmony, tone, modality ... Composing is not an activity reserved for learned adults. The word composer comes from the Latin cum-ponere, to pose with. You can compose a menu or a bouquet. The music composer does not create, he has, in his own way, the elements of an existing sound material. Each study is the occasion of a work of com-position, all the musical elements are provided, it is enough to assemble them, each in their own way. These are very simple exercises, recipes that can be modified according to everyone's tastes, such as cooking recipes. How to do ? - bring a music notebook, a pencil and, especially, an eraser, - play everything you write, and listen! - and have fun as much as the author of these studies ... Claude-Henry Joubert
