Arnold Schoenberg's Six Little Pieces, Opus 19, originally for Piano, were published in 1913 at a time when the composer was reacting to his feelings of the excesses of the Romantic Period. They were composed concurrently with his gigantic work Gurre-Lieder. The first five pieces were written in one day and the last one shortly after the death of Gustav Mahler as a rumored tombeau or memorial. Mr. Sauer has deftly arranged these six short pieces of around 5 minutes in length for advanced performers.

Apart from numerous publications in the field of music education, the music teacher and composer Hermann Regner (1928-2008) contributed considerably to the brass repertoire, such as material for wind orchestra and wind band. Influenced by his studies with Carl Orff, he paid special attention to the fusion of instrumental education and contemporary music. A matter of particular concern for him was to write practical, easily playable new music for children, young people and amateur musicians - music that takes the technical competence of beginners into account and motivates them to concern themselves with new sounds, rhythms and playing techniques. 'All begins well' is a small collection of easy pieces for trombone with piano accompaniment. The five short pieces are a perfect addition to instrument lessons and 'Jugend musiziert'. The pieces are very melodic, using simple keys (F major, B flat major, E flat major) which are easy to play by the trombone, and they cover a compass from B flat to E flat1.

This book proposes a way to start the girls and boys from five yeras old to study the piano. Through the characters of the short stories, that head each piece on the form of a little poem, we work in a fun way, exploring the various possibilities of sound, timbre and register of the instrument. From the first contact, the piano is displayed with all its full expression.

At first, these scores have been designed to provide memory reference points on order to focus all the attention on what happens on the keyboard. Thus, the identification of groups and patterns of notes -often illustrated with cartoons and a short analysis of the formal structure, sometimes referred to in the opening poem- may be one of the first approaches the student has to the complexity of musical abstraction. Therefore, the use of the score is also an invitation to discover musical language intuitively.

The organization of material is also designed so that its contents can be played, in part or in full, in auditions and concerts. Students can recite the poems before playing the pieces and even perform dressed up. Thus, from the elegant leap of a dolphin to the small steps of a mouse, we imagine the rapid jump of a flea trapeze artist or the rhythmic sound of a train. From the sounds we hear in a haunted house, we will add a touch of the magic wand and learn to accurately enter pinches of ingredients for a potion….
