12 ragtimes in the style of Scott Joplin for piano four hands, short and technically easy to master, rekindle the fun of ragtime! Felix Janosa is known to most children and parents in Germany as the composer of the Ritter Rost musicals. Although he studied school music and composition at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, he never went to school as a music teacher, instead becoming a freelance composer, music cabaret artist, jazz pianist and music education author.

This series of easy piano music for teaching purposes presents pupils in the lower and lower middle grades with a carefully chosen selection of well-known and lesserknown compositions by important masters. The volumes are deliberately kept small in extent, since it is more stimulating for children to change the teaching material frequently. In his last years, Mozart composed a large number of German Dances for orchestra. This music for daily use of the time - intended functionally, for dancing and entertainment - is distinguished by enchanting ideas and simple textures. The editor has tried to cany over the instrumental subtleties into the piano-duet writing. These dances are particularly suitable for introducing some relaxation into the learning of the piano, for the interpretative and technical workingout demanded by Mozart's original piano-duet works is not required to the same degree here. The marks of expression have been taken over from the original score and in part supplemented. Notes not marked otherwise are to be played non legato. The technical difficulty of these pieces corresponds roughly to the third and fourth year of study. Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Spring 1977.
