Be a pro at the drums! Drumroad 1 marks the beginning of Breitkopf's percussion instruction series. In the first book of Ralf Kleinehanding's method, the comprehensive acquisition of the basic techniques stands in the forefront. Parallel to working on grooves, the student will also learn important fill-ins. The enclosed fill-in book offers a flexible array of uses and combinations, and contains many additional pieces for the toms. Accompanying patterns for chordal instruments (mallets, piano) round off the concept. This wide-ranging book provides essential groundwork for the mastery of percussion instruments. Ideal for traditional instruction, Drumroad 1 will also whet the student's appetite for more complex grooves and techniques in Volume 2. Ralf Wehner's thematic catalogue closes this gap.

It organizes the body of works into 26 groups and assigns each work its own MWV number. Within the groups the individual pieces are arranged chronologically. Also included in the MWV are all known collective manuscripts and prints information on works of dubious authenticity and on Mendelssohn's arrangements as well as his editions of works by other composers. Wehner's work is based on the examination of material and information from more than 1 500 libraries c. 15 000 auction catalogues and about 12 000 letters. The succinct account of the history of the work its publication and reception gives the MWV its profile as a compact study edition.

An overview on the MWV numbering system you will find on the webiste of the
