Things to consider
Schaeffer's trios and quintets are written at overlapping grade levels (I-III), so you can build a coherent season mixing easier and more challenging pieces without relearning instrumentation. The flute and brass works are separate purchases, so plan your order based on which instruments you need to cover. All titles ship as physical copies, making them ideal for ensembles that need multiple readable parts.
