The volumes in this new series contain duos, trios and quartets, their degree of difficulty ranging from easy through intermediate to advanced. Every piece is a transcription or an arrangement, since in editing the volumes our primary concern was to provide a collection of valuable and interesting compositions, as freely variable as possible as regards instrumentation, for music school students and also for adults who make music for their own pleasure. The range and pitch of the parts enable the works to be performed on any required or possible combination of the given instruments. The Easy trios volume in the Ad libitum series offers a rich variety of simple three-part settingsfor beginners on their instruments. This volume contains not only the simplest of folk song arrangements and transcriptions of Renaissance and early Baroque vocal pieces but also easily performable excerpts from works by great composers such as J. S. Bach, G. F. Händel and J. Haydn. Here you can find well-known favourites too (Mozart's Terzetto from The Magic Flute Beethoven's Ode to Joy). One special item is a little-known version of a popular children's song arranged by Mozart too ('Ah, vous dirai-je, maman'), in an arrangement by one of Bach's sons, J. Ch. Fr. Bach.

Die Bände der neuen Serie beinhalten leichte, mittelschwere oder fortgeschrittene Duos, Trios und Quartette. Bei der Zusammenstellung lag das Hauptaugenmerk auf der höchstmöglichen Freiheit in der Kombinierbarkeit der Instrumente sowie darauf, dass die Kompositionen für Musikschüler und Hobbymusiker musikalisch interessant und wertvoll sind. Aus diesem Grund handelt es sich bei allen Stücken um Transkriptionen. Lage und Tonumfang der Stimmen sind so gesetzt, dass sich die Werke allen denkbaren Umständen und Ansprüchen anpassen und entsprechend in jeder Kombination der angegebenen Musikinstrumente vorgetragen werden können.

“Thes e real masterpieces, even if only a few minutes long, are of tremendous melodiousness and expressiveness!”, Franz Schubert said about Friedrich Kuhlau's sonatinas.

The four Sonatinas Op. 88 were written in 1827, i.e. during Friedrich Kuhlau's middle creative period, even before the great success of the opera “Elfenhügel.&r dquo; and the year of Beethoven's death. All four works contain beautiful melodic ideas, but Sonatina Op. 88 No. 3 with its minor tonality, its free treatment of form and tempo in the first movement and the lively last movement is something special. Of medium difficulty, this sonatina is great fun to play.

This edition is accompanied by a preface and “Teaching Notes” by Monika Twelsiek. It is part of the new Schott Student Edition series which offers varied literature at five different levels of difficulty, from 1 (easy) to 5 (difficult), for instrumental lessons.
