Carl FischerContest And Festival Performance Solos Book/CD
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A printed solo collection packaged with a CD, aimed at students working up pieces for contest and festival performance.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Students building a program for an adjudicated performance
- Home practice when an accompanist isn't available every session
- Private lesson assignments that need performance-ready pieces
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting technique drills or a graded method course
- Tablet users who read from PDFs and foot pedals
- Anyone who needs the audio as a download instead
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Audio on disc, not a download code
Most current laptops have no optical drive. Plan on an external drive to rip the tracks to a phone.
Detail 03
Solo repertoire, not exercises
The content is pieces to perform. Your scales, long tones and etudes still have to come from somewhere else.
Detail 04
Print edition
Sits on a stand, stays open, needs no battery or license. It also can't be resized or transposed.
Detail 05
Entry-level tier
Written for players still developing, so expect approachable pieces rather than advanced concert repertoire.
Detail 06
$23.99 for the set
One purchase covers both the music and the audio; there's no separate accompaniment book to buy.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm this edition matches the part and instrument you actually play

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with audio?
Yes. A CD is packaged with the book.
02Can I use this without an accompanist?
Yes. The disc gives you audio to play along with, so you can rehearse alone and save the pianist for the performance.
03Is this a method book?
No. It's a collection of solos to perform, not a course of graded exercises and technique instruction.
04Do I need the CD to use the book?
No. The printed music works on its own. The disc is a practice aid.
