HELP !! I need all kind of arpeggio's to practise and learn.

[musicioso]

Hallo dear all,

Do you guys have sheets for different kinds of arpeggio's? I want to learn as much variations as possible to use them in my improvisations.

Here are some examples of what i am looking for:

In this piece of music there is a lot of beautiful arpeggio's, played by violins. That kind of stuff i mean.

Here another example:

I hope you guys can help me.

this will give you some direction, the contrary motion arpegios on different intervals are a challenge but man do they sound cool when you get them down at a fast clip.


my apologies if this is copyrighted, posted with genuine thought that it is PD, if it isn't i can promptly delete the post.

no worries man. you're super welcome. it is definitely one of the highest return on investment (time wise) things you can dedicate yourself too. yeah i can totally see how getting all of those down in all keys will make your improv sound pretty incredible. good luck, keep us posted.

Thanks, but that was a ton of pages and then I thought it was starting over but there's two sections to it.  Enough to keep you busy for a long, long time.  Need to take it to the store and bind it, though. 
Can you tell us where you got that for more goodies? Maybe some not-so-many pages stuff?
Thanks

also keep in mind that some of the less common variations it only gives you the blue print for C major I think, then it expects you to be able to figure out/transpose it to the other tonics. and some scale passages it will give you 2 octaves, where you're able (as in as long as there's room on the keyboard) take it to 4 octaves.

I've had that thing for years, i think i bought it on amazon or locally through a music shop my first year in music school I can't remember if I scanned it in for back up in case it got lost or if this was a preview/sample i used before buying (I hate playing from 'loose' sheets so I buy real books as long as they can be found i only use pdf as preview samples to make sure it's what i need / want to buy, sometimes we don't have a choice they're just impossible to locate but where able, the real deal is always better)

hmm a smaller version? can't think about it right now but i doubt i'd have it, i don't see the point, you'd want to be able to knock out as many variations as possible so if i had anything smaller I probably got rid of it after this one.


i need to re visit the whole darn thing, i just finished a concerto and having more than a B level mastery of some of those patterns would have saved me hours of drilling in the 'accomanying' sectinos where the orchestra has the melody.  see ? practical application of the stuff right there.

[49410enrique]

once this is 'mastered' the next level would be to pick up Nicolas Slominsky's Thesaurus of scales and melodic patterns, this book is 'very advanced' in both theory and technique (and beefy some 256 pages worth!).


from amazon:
Since its publication in 1947, great musicians and composers of all genres - from Arnold Schoenberg and Virgil Thomson to John Coltrane and Freddie Hubbard - have sworn by this legendary volume and its comprehensive vocabulary of melodic patterns for composition and improvisation.

Probably has more practical applications for improvosation and if you will be exploring modern literature (i.e. 20th century and on), mainly due to the interesting scales that can be created with equal divisions of the octave into two (tri tone progression), three (ditone progression),  six parts (more commonly called 'whole tone'), 12 parts (semitone progression), four parts (quadritone), and some strange ones like three octaves into four parts (sesquidquadritone), and on and on it goes.

interestingly around the time these 'theoretical' keys were being thought up /rediscovered they started to be seen in music.

my favorites (at least for now) the bitonal arpegios, to construct you essentially play two tonics against each other, like pattern 1195, right hand on c major and left hand on D minor, also are the polytonal polyrhythmic scales where you play say an E major scales in triplets against a C major scales in duplets (3:2) , also the 5:4 scales are way cool (pentuplets vs sixteenth notes). there is so much I can't think of a single permutation not covered by both books.

I would create postable media but i just double checked and charles scribner renewed the rights to this in the 70's (and though i tink it's silly to copyright scales and apregios i can see with this volume how the theory work would be protected).
