Jacques Offenbach was not only a composer of inexhaustible imagination, but also a virtuoso cellist. Even after his first years in Paris, he liked to perform as a musician again and again. To mark his 200th birthday in 2019, the Offenbach Edition Keck OEK publishes original compositions by the 'Mozart of the Champs-Elysees' for 'his' instrument plus piano accompaniment. The pieces are suitable for amateur studies and concert performances alike - not only in the anniversary year! Some of them were already available in older separate editions, some of them have been unpublished until now. In the present edition, they are published in three volumes according to their musical relation, based on the multiple award-winning editorial standards of the OEK. Vol. 1 contains dance-like pieces (Tarantelle / Trois Andante / Marche chinoise), Vol. 2 baroque-style parodies (Musette / Chant des mariniers galants dapres Rameau / Tambourin dapres Rameau) and Vol. 3 Romantic character pieces (La Course en traineau / Introduction et valse melancolique / Reverie au bord de mer / Deux ames au ciel).

Originally composed for a magazine sponsored competition requiring that the first movement not exceed 75 bars, Sonatine is a beautifully focused example of Maurice Ravel's signature style. The piece's ethereal melody delicately floats over a blend of feverish 32nd notes and lush impressionistic harmonies, enveloping both soloist and audience members in a waking dream. Carl Fischer Music is delighted to offer our original edition of this timeless gem to piano soloists everywhere.

In a feverish march-style, Delta Force opens with a South American flavor. The work builds upon a flowing melody initially established by the low brass and low woodwinds but transcends freely throughout the ensemble. A gallant programmatic work! (1:45) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
