This beloved piece, well known by many early music students, is a sweet expressive addition for your flute ensemble/ group/ choir. Simplistic enough to intermediate performers, yet complex enough to create something magical for performers and audience. This simple yet sweet melody, added with my rich textured harmonies adds a new flare to this piece, and would be perfect for playing for so many venues , concerts, churches, programs, graduation, memorial
services, and many other choices. A great way for newer players to learn expressive playing and emotional phrasing. A sure hit for all !
set for 4 c flutes, and alto flute in g , and / or bass flute . Can be used as a quintet or sextet , or small flute ensemble. A piece where all flute players can play, sharing the melody back and forth through the sections .

Even Mozart had to learn how to play the piano. This collection of easy works includes pieces composed by both young Mozart and by his father, for his piano lessons. Including pieces from the volume Notebook for Wolfgang alongside popular pieces by Mozart such as Ah vous dirai-je Maman (variations) and themes from Sonata in A major KV 331 and Sonata in C major KV 545. All pieces can be played with or without pedal.

Originally composed by Gyorgy Ligeti for solo violoncello and established in the cello repertoire, the sonata is now available in an arrangement for guitar (2013) by Kostas Tosidis. Tosidis transcribes contemporary solo cello literature for the guitar to add to the guitar repertoire and explore technical as well as interpretative possibilities.

Learning to play the piano with Bach
Easy to intermediate pieces by the master

* Bach as a teacher
* Easy piano pieces
* For beginners with basic knowledge

Learn from the master. Johann Sebastian Bach composed countless pieces specifically for his many students. My First Bach contains many of these educational pieces which are, for the most part, arranged in increasing difficulty. Easy two-part chorales and dances are followed by more demanding little preludes, two-part inventions and the first Prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier.

I composed the orchestral piece Melodien in 1971. I tried to loosen up the dense micropolyphony of my musical language, to make it more transparent. Basically, I stayed true to my earlier style: the musical form unfolds like a stretched fabric in the continuously flowing time, but the individual voices no longer merge (as in my earlier music), rather they can be heard individually in their overlapping and interweaving . The voices become individual melodies, with their own style, their own tempo, rhythm and interval structure. If you listen to the work for the first time, it appears as a chaos of discrepant melodies - but if you know the music better, the internal connections become tangible, the hidden harmonic skeleton of the form becomes tangible. (Gyorgy Ligeti)

This facsimile edition offers an impressive access to the composer's work. A study score in modern notation is also available.

The work is based on a tune called The Nag written by the jazz guitarist/composer John Scofield, of whom I have long been a fan and with whom I worked closely when writing Blood on the Floor (Mark-Anthony Turnage)
'The grim frenzy, the waste and the futility of war are all embedded in Silent Cities' (The Times).

These duet studies are intended as a companion volume and as additional exercises to the method 'Cello mit Spass und Hugo', but they are equally well suited as complementary material to any other course of study. Each piece tackles a clearly defined technical or tonal task, yet they are meant to be fun and useful additional to the chamber music repertoire in their own right. Initially the upper part is intended for the pupil, the lower one for the teacher. But as both parts are comparatively equal, they could also be attempted by two pupils. For group tuition it is suggested to introduce a couple of rhythmical accompanying parts.

The Austrian clarinettist and composer Alfred Uhl (1909-92), born and trained in Vienna, has gained an international reputation for his film music scores, orchestral and chamber music works. His works move in a tonal framework, combining a differentiated rhythm and catchy melody. Thus, Uhl developed his own personal humorous style which he also realized in his studies. His study cycle is a standard work of teaching literature for clarinet. Almost every aspect of clarinet playing technique is .covered in Uhl's study work. Apart from the technical educational goal, the musical content gets its fair share too: each study work is a little character piece which helps the clarinettist to effectively express his musical imagination independently of technical obstacles. A new edition in one volume with practising tips by Prof. Reiner Wehle.

The present volume contains a selection of the best-known and most popular pieces by Satie, including Gymnop�.dies and Gnossiennes, but also two early works (1885), compositions from the neo-Gregorian period (1888-1893) and from the world of the cabaret (1897-1904) as well as two miniatures from 1913.
This anthology takes the performer on a journey through Satie's different creative periods and provides a detailed picture of his development as a composer.

Garth Knox is one of the most prominent violists of his generation, and as former long-time member of the Arditti Quartet he has developed and maintained a fondness of contemporary music. In the meantime, he gives concerts and teaches courses all over the world.

With 'Viola Spaces' he wants to make contemporary playing techniques accessible to advanced players. The pieces, or 'playing spaces', are true concert studies, each of them dealing with specific techniques such as harmonics, pizzicato (with 9 fingers!) or tremolos which are explained in great detail.

Another volume with modern playing techniques for two violas and a volume with variations on a piece by the French viola da gamba master Marin Marais for four violas are planned.

These attractive variations on the 'Happy Birthday' - theme are written in the style of various masters and are suitably flavoured with additional quotes, the 'congratulations' are meant to be by the following composers: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner, J. Strauss, Dvorak and Joplin. German birthday poems in imitation of Busch, Goethe, Morike, Morgenstern, Schiller and Storm complement the music, adding up to a perfect birthday present for the amateur pianist.

It is created out of nothing and develops into sound. This choral improvisation on the kyrie from 'Messe a trois voix' by Andre Caplet gives the singers space to shape the piece themselves while nevertheless being self-contained. A short concert piece for experienced musicians.
