Ohne Ubertreibung darf man Karl May den erfolgreichsten deutschen Schriftsteller nennen. Uber seine Person weiss man gleichwohl wenig, ebenso fristen sein mystisches Spatwerk und seine Gedichte ein Schattendasein. Fast ganzlich unerschlossen sind jedoch seine Kompositionen, zumal es uberhaupt weitgehend unbekannt ist, dass Karl May komponiert und eine fundierte musikalische Ausbildung genossen hat sowie einige Zeit als ausubender Musiker tatig gewesen ist. Dem 1897 entstandenen 'Ave Maria' fur 4-stimmigen gemischten Chor, dessen Strophen durch die (fragmentarische) Einbindung in den dritten Winnetou-Band einigermassen bekannt geworden sind, kommt unter Mays nachgelassenen Kompositionen eine besondere Stellung zu. Dieses Werk steht exemplarisch fur seinen musikalischen Stil im Mittelpunkt dieses Buches, das der lebenslangen starken Affinitat Karl Mays zur Musik nachgeht.

At the precocious age of fourteen, Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) scribbled out his Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E major. He wrote a second, this time longer, double piano concerto the following year. In December 1823, the young composer gave the first performance of the E major concerto with his sister Fanny Mendelssohn. Since he came to regard it as mere juvenilia, it never achieved publication in his lifetime. Filled with stylish finger-work, the concerto clearly served to display the musical gifts of the two siblings. It remained forgotten until a version, which had been revised by the composer himself and edited by Karl-Heinz Köhler, surfaced in 1961 in a Leipzig critical edition. Instrumentation: 1.2.2.2: 2.2.0.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo pianos (2 - available separately).

The Blue Danube is said to be Austria's secret anthem, and alongside the Radetzky March it is the traditional encore piece at the annual New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Already at its world premiere in 1867, this orchestral work triggered overwhelming enthusiasm, and the premiere of the choral version prompted a journalist to use the term Schlager (hit) for the first time in music history. The official title By the Beautiful Blue Danube is based on poems by Karl Isidor Becks; having his birth town Baja in mind, he contrasted the blue Danube with another river, the blonde Theiss. How utterly astonishing that this famous waltz is not really linked to Vienna. Be that as it may, its sensational popularity remains unimpaired.
