Four Short Pieces was composed in 1912 and was originally written for violin or cello with piano. A number of recordings exist for these combinations as well as a version for flute and piano. This arrangement for clarinet and piano follows the original closely with regard to tempo, style and articulation. Markings are suggested and the performer is encouraged to make adjustments to facilitate musicality.

Beau soir seems to have inspired musicians to make their own arrangements - for violin, cello, saxophone quartet, or even for five-part chamber choir and piano, as in this version by Denis Rouger. Unlike the instrumental versions, this one retains Paul Bourget's text: the poetic depiction of a sunset on a mild summer evening, on which light and shade merge into one another like the rhythm and harmony in Debussy's setting. It is not an unclouded depiction, but the recognition of our own finiteness. This art song was originally composed not for chamber choir, but for solo voice and piano. Denis Rouger has carefully adapted it to suit the requirements and expressive possibilities offered by a larger ensemble, without losing the any of the qualities of the original in the process. Each part in the choir has a melodic line drawn from the harmonic and rhythmic framework. In the process, the variety and refinement of the choral language combines with an enormous flexibility in form and expression, as French melodies or German art song demand from a soloist and pianist. The songs have been recorded by the figure humaine chamber choir on the CD Kennst du das Land ... (Carus 83.495).

Handel composed the Concerto for Harp, two recorders, strings and basso continuo for the premiere of his ode Alexander's Feast (as an illustration of Timotheus, the ancient poet who played the lyre). He later performed it himself as an organ concerto. The fine sonorous effects (use of mutes, pizzicato, recorders), which last but not least made the work famous, are also shown in the version for organ to the best advantage. For the first time the new edition is based solely on the autograph score which, according to the latest findings, renders the only reliable source. In addition, the basso continuo part presents the figuration of the first edition, which is of interest for historical performance practice. Score and part available separately - see item CA.5529400.
