Drehleier spielen

The increasing popularity of the hurdy-gurdy in all its variants increases the demand for a tutor which adapts to the increasing professionalism of the musicians and describes the musical range of these instruments comprehensively.

"Drehleier spielen" is the first tutor to highlight the manifold musical and technical modes of expression the hurdy-gurdy has to offer, its expressiveness in different musical styles, and the relationship between the musician and their instrument. It focuses on the extensive compilation of exercises, which introduce the student to the most varied musical styles and playing techniques.

Examples from different periods demonstrate the hurdy-gurdy's wide stylistic horizon and provide an opportunity to breathe musical life into the exercises.

The richly illustrated book is not just a tutor, but also a reader to encourage discussion among those who are fascinated by the hurdy-gurdy or want to share their fascination. It presupposes nothing but a willingness to study and practice.

But this can mean a lot.
