Die vorliegenden „50 Studien für Solo-Blasinstrumente sind keine Instrumentalschule, sondern dienen der Festigung des im Unterricht Gelernten und dem täglichen Training. Sie sind sowohl an Anfänger als auch an Fortgeschrittene gerichtet, die anhand der recht kurzen Stücke die erlernte Technik, Artikulation, Phrasierung, Dynamik etc. verfeinern möchten.

Auf Griffbezeichnungen wurde deshalb verzichtet, um die Studien nicht einseitig bestimmten Instrumenten zuzuordnen und andere dabei auszuklammern. Vielmehr ist genügend Raum vorhanden, um nur bei Bedarf Fingersätze bzw. Griffe bzw. Zugpositionen einzutragen, die durch Unterricht noch nicht gefestigt sind.

Dabei kommt die Kürze der Studien den Übenden entgegen: Während Vortragsliteratur oftmals schon wegen des zeitlichen Umfangs Kräfte raubendes Durchhalten erfordert und dabei oftmals rasches Ermüden des Ansatzes nach sich zieht, werden in diesem Kompendium in jeweils knapper Zeit und bei überschaubaren Taktanzahlen alle grundlegenden Techniken trainiert. Großen Wert legt der Autor auf reichlich einfaches Material für den Anfangsbereich, um eine solide Basis für die Ausführung der weiteren und immer schwieriger werdenden Kompositionen zu gewährleisten.

Die „50 Studien für Solo-Blasinstrumente sind für verschiedene Instrumentenstimmungen erschienen, damit gemeinsam unisono geübt werden kann. Somit eignen sich die Stücke zum chorischen Musizieren und als Orchesterstudien. Trotz der Kürze der Stücke können manche zum (Solo-)Vortrag und auch zu Vortragswettbewerben eingesetzt werden – gerade wegen der Bandbreite der in den Kompositionen behandelten Spieltechniken.
