These few combinations demonstrate basic techniques of solo registration. In creating
registrations of your own, remember these three simple rules:
1. Seek tonal contrast between solo and accompaniment.
2. Be sure the solo is louder than the accompaniment.
3. Choose a solo whose character is appropriate to the specific piece.
