Since most of Lisztâ??s vast output of piano music both original and arranged was obviously intended for the virtuoso it's easy to forget that he also wrote short and beautiful pieces which are technically undemanding. Moreover many of these are far more interesting musically than the typically brilliant works. By way of introducing this less familiar side of a great keyboard composer this edition offers twenty-one non-virtuoso pieces that he wrote between the ages of 38 and 74. They are arranged roughly in chronological order and prepared from original sources by leading scholars including informative introductions and performance notes. This book comprisescollections of pieces which include: Consolations Six Pieces S.172; Vier Kleine Klavierstucke (Four Short Piano Pieces) S.192; and Funf Ungarische Volkslieder (Five Hungarian Folksongs) S.245.

This new version however asks for a different scoring of three Bb Clarinets and one bass Clarinet. The work’s main purpose is to play with two possible meanings for 'short cuts'. That is both with the idea of sharp and cutting musical gestures and the idea of taking a different shorter path to reach a specific destination. But most of all it was written thinking of the wonderful sonority and the rare qualities of the ASQ to whom the work was dedicated.

kleine Stücke für Klavier-This cycle of Piano pieces occupies an exceptional position among the other compositions from Bohuslav Martinu's early period. In view of the musical and aesthetic challenges this work presents the cycle Puppets goes beyond the other pieces from this period which broadly speaking are didactic in nature and designed for the purposes of study. Martinu wrote the cycle between the years 1912-1925 and during this time he reworked and changed the pieces to the extent that Puppets I chronologically comes after Puppets III which is the earliest in the series. The third book (Puppets I) dates from 1925 and contains fiveshort pieces: Columbine Dances The New Puppet The Shy Doll Fairy Tale and finally The Puppets' Dance. Puppets I-III are a joy to play while providing a worthwhile source of study material and are an essential part of the repertoire of young pianists. All three books are published in new revised urtext editions edited by Ales Brezina. Poh?dka?is included on ABRSM Piano Grade 6 syllabus 2017-2018

Besides being an influential and prolific composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was one of the great teachers of his day. He was a dedicated master of the keyboard always exploring and expanding his knowledge of the instrument. Technique was of paramount significance to Bach and he was always developing exercises to improve his students??? playing. Bach developed those exercises into the pieces presented in 18 Short Preludes. However these compositions are more than keyboard exercises. They are light airy fun works that reflect Bach???s love of the short simple prelude form. They provide the beginning student with an excellent introduction to the genius ofJ.S. Bach.This edition was carefully and methodically prepared by Willard A. Palmer. An introductory section offers a thorough explanation of trills mordents appoggiaturas and other proper ornamentation applicable to these preludes. This feature helps make this edition of Bach???s 18 Short Preludes the most practical and attractive one available.
