For a successful approach to quartet playing

ISBN 9790200415827. 9 x 12 inches.

Making music in a quartet uniquely nurtures young string players' musical development, ensemble playing, listening to each other, and intonation. So, what could be more obvious than introducing the scoring of this genre, often referred to as chamber music's supreme discipline, as early as possible.

Indeed, composers have all along advised the classical string quartet's outstanding compositions, but they are hardly easy to play for beginners. Here, with the present collection, is where Eva-Maria Neumann comes in.

The two volumes include

• A total of 20 easy to intermediate arrangements of pieces from Bach to Bartok, together with specifically composed ones in string-quartet friendly keys  
• Reading scores and individual parts
• additionally, individual part for violin III instead of viola
• Tips on warming up, intonation, bowing, fingering, tempos, dynamics, and playing musically
• Specific instructions for the individual pieces
• Lists of supplementary original literature

The pieces are also effective as scored for chorus.

The latest volume of Chamber Music for Violoncellos contains four sacral works, two of which were arranged for cello quartet by the editor of the series, Árpád Pejtsik. Both Angelus!, Liszt's piano piece of ethereal beauty, and the Kyrie of Mozart's Requiem, an irresistibly surging four-part fugue, are magnificent when played with the immensely rich sound of the four cellos. The second part of the volume contains a pair of inspired works by two prominent cellists and composers of the 19th century: Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Fitzenhagen's Consecration Hymn and Friedrich Grützmacher's Ave Maria. While an instrumental skill of at least intermediate level is required for playing the upperparts due to the use of higher positions, the lower parts can be performed by beginner cellists. The editor has assisted the appropriate interpretation of the works by providing the fingering and bowing.
