The nine pieces in this second volume of the “Viola Recital Album” augment those appearing in volume 2 of the viola tutor. There the pieces are integrated in ascending order of difficulty, whereas the additional pieces in the “Recital Album” can be handled more freely and inserted at any point for the sake of variety.

The volume contains such pieces as Carrie Williams Krogmann's “Rotkehlchens Nachtgesang” (“Robin's nocturne”) or Wilhelm Fitzenhagen's “Russisches Lied ohne Worte” (“Russian song without words”).

Eac h piece is accompanied by duo version in which the teacher or an advanced learner can play the second part. There is also a piano part that can be played by the teacher or parents.

All the pieces in the four “Viola Recital Albums” represent welcome additions to the already varied repertoire of Egon Sassmannhaus's viola tutor “Early Start on the Viola”.

Kurt Sassmannshaus is the editor of many string editions in the Bärenreiter catalogue. He continues in the tradition of “Early Start on String Instruments” founded by his father, Egon Sassmannshaus. The new editions mentioned here were developed by Kurt Sassmannshaus in conjunction with his wife Melissa Lusk and his son Christoph Sassmannshaus.

• Ensemble playing is encouraged from the very beginning.
• The method is suitable for single instruction as well as for group and class lessons.
• The large print notes and text as well as many colorful illustrations are particularly child-friendly and very attractive to pre-school children and school children alike.

Volume 9 in the series of Supplements is mainly devoted to hitherto unpublished or inaccessible works. Apart from the piano score of the Berlioz symphony it contains smaller-scale late masterpieces (Excelsior!, Resignazione), the Album leaves written in Woronince in 1847, the large-scale but unfinished and not fully worked out Figaro and Don Juan fantasia, incorporating several Mozart themes, the piano piece No.1 in A flat major, two unpublished works incorrectly identified up till now by the special literature, the Maometto fantasia and the Siege de Corinthe (both transcriptions of Rossini works), and the volume also includes three other unpublished works (the Piano piece in Fmajor, the Cavatina from Robert le Diable by Meyerbeer, and Freudvoll und leidvoll, written down for Pauline von Iwanowska. The Prefaces preceding the scores, which give very accurate, detailed information about the genesis of the works, make interesting reading in themselves, but their true significance consists in the new scholarly discoveries made by the editors. Similarly to the other NLE volumes, both the cloth-bound (Z. 14504a) version and the one bound in hard-paper (Z. 14504) contain in three languages the series preface, the preface to this volume, and the captions below the facsimiles, but the critical notes in English are to be found only in the linen-bound edition.

Der Band enthält neben der Klavierpartitur der Symphonie von Berlioz, kleinere, spätere Meisterwerke (Excelsior!, Resignazione), die 1874 in Woronince entstandenen Albumblätter, die umfangreichen, mehrere Mozart-Themen aufgreifenden, aber unbeendeten und unausgearbeiteten Figaro- und Don Giovanni-Phantasien, das schon seit langem unzugängliche Klavierstück No. 1 in As-Dur, zwei von der Fachliteratur verkannte, unveröffentlichte Werke, die Maometto-Phantasie und die ‚Siege de Corinthe' (beide sind Transkriptionen von Rossini-Werken) und drei, ebenfalls bisher nicht erschienene Stücke, das Klavierstück in F-Dur, die Cavatina aus Meyerbeers ‚Robert der Teufel' und dasfür Pauline von Iwanowska komponierte ‚Freudvoll und leidvoll'. Das Vorwort, welches die Entstehungsgeschichte der Werke sehr genau und auf jedes Detail eingehend vorstellt, ist auch selbst eine interessante Lektüre. Seine wahre Bedeutung machen aber die neuen wissenschaftlichen Entdeckungen aus.
