In 1759 Leopold Mozart compiled a notebook as a present for his daughter Maria Anna (usually called 'Nannerl'), it was intended as a series of instructive exercises and practice pieces.
The notebook though wasn't used solely by Nannerl but also by her younger
brother Wolfgang, and the talented boy didn't just use it for piano practice but soon started to compose his own little pieces. Either Wolfgang himself or his father wrote them into the remaining empty pages of the notebook. This new edition contains only compositions by Leopold and Wolfgang Mozart. It is a companion volume to 'The Young Mozart' by H. Schungeler, which contains the first and easiest compositions by Wolfgang (ED 9008).
A classic of the piano teaching literature, now available in the new Schott Piano Classics series.

Czerny has been underestimated as a composer of studies for a long time. In the meantime, however, his studies are used more and more in lessons because he is a real master in .tackling technical and musical problems in concise exercises. Against the background of the discussion about practising ('How to practise in an efficient and targeted manner'), Czerny's studies have gained in importance. As a consequence, Schott has included the well-known cycle 100 leichte Ubungsstucke op. 139 in its study series 'Essential Exercises', with fingerings and didactic information by Wilhelm Ohmen.

The European Hymn is the hymn not only of the European Union but of Europe in a broader sense. The melody has been taken from the Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven from 1823.
In the last movement of this symphony Beethoven set music to the 'Ode to Joy' by Friedrich von Schiller from 1785. This poem sprang from Schiller's idealistic vision of men who become brothers - a vision Beethoven shared with him.

In 1972 the Council of Europe adopted Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' as its anthem. The well-known conductor Herbert von Karajan was commissioned to arrange three instrumental versions - for solo piano, wind orchestra and symphony orchestra. Without words, in the universal language of music, the anthem is an expression of the idealistic values of freedom, peace and solidarity which Europe stands for.
In 1985 the heads of state and government adopted the hymn as the EU's official anthem. It does not replace the national anthems of the member states, but rather celebrates common values as well as unity in diversity.

The score of this offical anthem is exclusively available from the Schott publishing house.

The prelude has a long history. Originating in the 16th century from the improvisatory use of an instrument and the introduction of a key, it reached its apogee in the Baroque period with Bach, Handel or Couperin as a playful form with triads and rapid passages. In the 19th century, the prelude broke new ground as an imaginative instrumental piece. Chopin and Debussy created a variety of forms and character pieces in their preludes, some with programmatic titles or as descriptions of images of nature or figurations. In the 20th century, composers such as Eduard Putz and Nikolai Kapustin also opened up the prelude to stylistic features of jazz. This volume is a 'melodious history' of the prelude and a treasure trove for lessons and for piano lovers who wish to discover something new. Works by Bach, Handel, Couperin, Bertini, Chopin, Heller, Kirchner, Debussy, Satie, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Kapustin, and many more.
