Die lange Verbindung zwischen dem Flötisten Ernesto Köhler (1849 - 1907) und dem Verleger Julius Heinrich Zimmermann nahm 1880 ihren Anfang mit der Ausgabe von E. Köhlers Flötenschule, Zimmermanns erstem Verlagswerk überhaupt! Die Schule und auch die Etüden Ernesto Köhlers sind bis heute Standardwerke des Flötenunterrichts. Darüber hinaus komponierte er aber auch mehr als 100 Werke für sein Instrument, von denen viele ebenfalls bei Zimmermann erschienen. Die Serenaden op. 59, op. 70 und op. 74 erschienen 1892 zum ersten Mal bei Zimmermann und liegen hier in einer revidierten Neuausgabe vor. Sie sind typische Vertreter der damals so beliebten Salonstücke, nicht allzu virtuos, aber doch technisch anspruchsvoll. / Flûte Et Piano

This book is part of the series Junior Percussion which derived from practical experience to be now practised at music schools. As there is often only a restricted number of instruments available at music schools, it is also possible to use similar instruments. Attached, you will find rhythmic preliminary exercises. Both Samba Batu and Samba Cada serve as an indicator for being able to play the samba within a large group. / Percussion / Zimmermann

These six canzonets, originally written for three vocal parts and three basset horns, have fallen into oblivion. This edition is based on the Notturni , nice texts by Metastasio and three anonymous poems - ensemble titles of light music which Mozart performed on musical evenings in the house of the Jacquin family and which even he himself seems to have forgotten soon after. As the basset horns in the original nearly always go colla parte with the vocal parts, no reductions had to be made when arranging the movement. / Flûte traversière / Zimmermann

Ernesto Köhler's fantastic Flute Concerto Op. 97 actually requires the accompaniment of a large orchestra. The orchestral material is available on hire with Musikverlag Zimmermann. The Concerto is characterized mainly by the high virtuosity. The audience in the early 20th century loved the display of technical possibilities of a musical instrument. Ernesto Köhler himself was regarded as unsurpassed in the clean interpretation of his work and the fine tone he coaxed from the flute. His Concerto was frequently performed by leading soloists in Europe and America in his time.
