Beethoven Complete Piano Sonatas Volume I. Edited by Harold Craxton. Annotated by Donald Francis Tovey.

This songbook collection features Beethoven Minuet in G (First Movement) an adaptation of the theme from his Pathetique Sonata Chopin’s Nocturne in E Flat Schubert’s March Militaire and the traditional Londonderry Air.The Kunz style favoured big many-layered chords in the right hand with a more rhythmic underpinning in the left. For instance the Kunz arrangement of Beethoven’s famous Minuet in G (First Movement) transforms a student piece to a flowing chordal display which Kunz himself was able to play with grace and finesse. The arrangements tend to end with the thrill of a rallentando and chord in the upper registers.Pianist Charlie Kunz enjoyed a twenty-year careeras a solo pianist touring throughout Britain and appearing on television and radio. He had originally emigrated to the UK after World War I to work in a dance band but his distinctive and winning style soon led to a solo career performing his own versions of classical favourites.

The Easy Piano Duet with CD series features sympathetic arrangements with optional practice backing tracks and performances on the accompanying CD. All highly playable.Easy Beethoven Piano Duets includes Fur Elise the slow movement from the Pathetique Piano Sonata and Beethoven's 'Sonata for Piano Duet' Opus 6.

Britta Byström's Trumpet Concerto No.2 Screen Memories for Trumpet solo and Orchestra (2012). Trumpet solo part: WH31514B Dedicated to Tine Thing Helseth. Premiered February 28 2013 by the Nordic Chamber Orchestra  and Tine Thing Helseth conducted by Johannes Gustavsson at Stadshuset in Sundsvall Sweden. Programme note Screen Memories is the English translation of a Freudian term (Deckerinnerung is the original German term). In Swedish it is called 'täckminnen'. The term means strong but seemingly meaningless childhoodmemories as 'cover' for substantial memory.  The title is something of a pun as the work is based on the composition Voyage Into the Golden Screen  (1968-69) by Danish composer Per Nørgård – a modern classic in which Nørgård presents his compositional technique known as the infinity series. The technique which I freely apply in the “Trumpet Concerto” enables the development of an endless melody! In that sense “Screen Memories” adapts a second understanding: memories of the composition of Nørgård.  Nørgård in turn adopted the title from a song by British songwriter Donovan – the first phrase of this song is in my trumpet concerto. And then there's a third musical reference: the second movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 'Pathetique'. I once heard it in concert while a massive rainstorm appeared and nearly drowned the music. A musical memory incorporated in the composition (the percussionist uses a “rain stick”).  Screen Memories thus becomes a concert full of musical memories dressed in new clothes. It is written for and dedicated to the soloist Tine Thing Helseth whose soft and virtuoso
