Zoltán Kocsis (1952 - 2016) was not just a phenomenal pianist. He was also regarded as a musical 'polymath' whose genius embraced the activities of a composer, conductor, editor, instrumentalist, and arranger. In the last capacity, he added some 150 works to symphonic, chamber, song and piano repertoire. He gladly adapted music of the turn of the 20th century, as appears from his transcriptions of Richard Strauss, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, Enescu, and above all, Debussy. (Many of these are distributed by Editio Musica Budapest.) 'In Debussy's case, (...) I was always interested in works that offered possibilities beyond the bounds of the piano, possibilities for orchestration.Just as with Liszt it was often possible to see that certain of his works had been written for piano for publication purposes, so with Debussy it is clear that mainly his song accompaniments exceeded the bounds of possibility for the piano,' Kocsis stated in one interview. Perhaps that recognition also encouraged him to arrange the popular piano work Valse romantique (1890) for clarinet and piano. The arrangement superbly pinpoints the sensitive, almost ingratiating tunefulness of the Waltz, adding a piece that sounds great and is rewarding to perform to the clarinet repertoire.

Mit dem unlängst verstorbenen Zoltán Kocsis betrauert die Nachwelt nicht nur einen phänomenalen Pianisten, sondern auch einen 'Polyhistor der Musik': Sein außergewöhnliches Talent entfaltete sich ebenfalls in seiner Tätigkeit als Komponist, als Dirigent, als Herausgeber und nicht zuletzt auch als Arrangeur und Bearbeiter organisch. Durch letztere Aktivität bereicherte er die symphonische, Kammer-, Lied- und Klavierliteratur um etwa einhundertfünfzig Werke. Sehr gern adaptierte er die Musik aus der Zeit der Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert, wie auch seine Richard-Strauss-, Ravel-, Rachmaninov-, Enescu- und vor allem Debussy-Transkriptionen belegen. (Mehrere davon werden auch von unseremVerlag vertrieben.).

Performance pieces for piano and clarinet in which the level of difficulty for both players is similar are always in demand. The 20 pieces in this book — arrangements of well-known tunes as well as original compositions — are aimed at pupils who have been playing for approximately three years. Both players will learn a great deal and will have double the playing fun. Two is a Team — after all playing together is almost always at the heart of music!

Er blijkt steeds weer behoefte te zijn aan samenspeelstukken voor piano en klarinet waarin beide partijen een vergelijkbare moeilijkheidsgraad hebben. De 20 stukken in dit boek — zowel bewerkingen van bekende liedjes als originele composities — zijn bedoeld voor leerlingen die ongeveer drie jaar spelen. Beiden zullen er veel van leren en er dubbel plezier aan beleven. Two is a Team — in de muziek draait het immers vrijwel altijd om samenspel!

Es gibt immer Bedarf an Stücken für Klavier und Klarinette, in denen die Stimmen für beide Spieler ähnlich schwer sind. Die 20 Stücke in diesem Buch — die sowohl bekannte Melodien als auch originale Kompositionen umfassen — richten sich an Instrumentalschüler, die bereits etwa drei Jahre Unterricht hatten. So können beide etwas lernen und haben doppelt Spaß. Two is a Team — denn schließlich geht es beim Musizieren doch fast immer um das gemeinsame Musikerlebnis!

La littérature musicale semblerait être dénuée de morceaux de concert pour piano et clarinette dont le degré de difficulté soit peu près le même pour les deux musiciens. Les 20 morceaux de ce recueil — arrangements d’airs connus et compositions originales — sont destinés aux élèves qui jouent depuis environ trois ans. Ils profiteront tous deux de ce travail et prendront doublement plaisir interpréter ces morceaux. Après tout, jouer avec d’autres est un des grands plaisirs qu’apporte la pratique de la musique !

Two is a Team raccoglie composizioni originali e brani del repertorio classico noto al pubblico, indirizzati agli strumentisti con circa tre anni di studio alle spalle. Il livello di difficolt dei brani contenuti nella pubblicazione è molto simile per entrambi gli strumentisti, rendendo così più facile un’esecuzione con l’accompagnamento del piano.

French composer, conductor and teacher, Jules Semler-Collery (1902-1988) was born to a musical father. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won many prizes. Semler-Collery's works have been successful, with many of his concertos being included in the Conservatoire's list of compulsory works. Reverie and Scherzo for Clarinet and Piano is no exception to the composer's success. Published in 1950, Semler-Collery's Reverie is marked Andantino Cantabile and is in 6/8 meter. Both the Clarinet solo line and Piano accompaniment are virtousic, exploiting rhythm, tonality and harmony. A cadenza-like passage is heard towards the end. The Scherzo is marked Molta Leggiero and is staccato in 3/4 meter. Quaver and semiquaver passages are heard with the speed accelerating to a dramatic finale. For all advanced clarinetists, Semler-Collery's Reverie and Scherzo provides an exciting performance work for performers and audiences alike..
