Together with Ludwig van Beethoven Franz Schubert is considered to be the founder of romantic music in German-speaking countries. He mainly owes this reputation to the composition of more than 600 songs many of which even today are an integral part of every singers repertoire. For this album James Rae has selected some of Schuberts most beautiful melodies from both his vocal and instrumental works and arranged them for clarinet. Its expressive sound coupled with Schuberts unique melodies is a homage to the great composer and should enrich every clarinet players repertoire.

Twelve easy to intermediate songs. Par DICKBAUER KLAUS. Whether together with the professional Play Along MP3-CD or the available piano accompaniment, the collection of twelve original compositions by Klaus Dickbauer and Martin Gasselsberger grooves from the first to the last note. The solo pieces are within the easy to intermediate degrees of difficulty, and are stylistically based on jazz, world, cinema and pop genres. Their interpretation is perfectly complemented by the accompanying CD, on which the complete versions are recorded at a high-quality level. The entertaining pieces already stimulate the most diverse imaginations through their attractive titles. In ?Your Fairy Tale? or in ?The Story of the Angry Rabbit?, for example, you can enter fairy tale worlds, it becomes thoughtful in ?Melancholia?, lively and cheerful in ?Joyful Dance? and ?Come and Show your Bright Side!? ?Tricky 7? incorporates the 7/4 time into its brisk tempo with rhythmic demands, while the ?Wedding Waltz? tirelessly turns in circles. Dickbauer's ?Let the Cat In? shows that a cat has no patience. At many points in the twelve character pieces there is room for improvisation and creativity, which should encourage the listener to develop their own ideas. Harmonies or scales are noted in the score. The chord symbolism is generally completed in the clarinet part above the melody.
