			Advanced Solos for Snare Drum is a wonderful addition to the recital and contest repertoire for snare drum. John Beck has dedicated this collection to his son John R. Beck. The book contains four different solos. Two of the solos are listed at grade-5 and two are listed at grade6. It is my opinion that the difficulty of these solos is more accurately reflected with grade-4 and grade-5 listings. Double-Timing is the first solo in the collection and features some very creative shifts in and out of doubletime phrasing. The second solo, titled Rudiwaltz, utilizes an assortment of various rudimental figures to evoke a waltz phrasing in 3/8. Also contained in this solo is a well-written modulation into a contrasting middle section based in 3/4. Two for Six is slightly more difficult and features various contrasting rhythmic material which shifts between 2/4 and 6/8 throughout the solo. Since the pulse remains the same for the entire solo, the shift between meters sets up a nice play between duple and triple-based figures. The final solo in this collection, titled J R. Special, is no doubt named after John's son. This solo begins and concludes in a very uptempo 6/8 meter with a contrasting middle section based in 2/4. The 2/4 material adds nice variety to the solo with a series of 6-stroke and 15-stroke roll figures notated in thirty-second-note patterns. A wide range of dynamics is specified for each solo. Accents and stickings are clearly indicated throughout and contribute to the musical phrasing of each solo. Advanced Solos for Snare Drum is a valuable educational resource. High-school and college students will enjoy performing these solos.
