Performance
pieces for piano and

both players is similar
are always in demand. The
20 pieces in this book
— arrangements of
well-known tunes as well
as original compositions
— are aimed at
pupils who have been
playing for approximately
three years. Both players
will learn a great deal
and will have double the
playing fun. Two is a

all playing together is
almost always at the
heart of music!

die ongeveer drie jaar
spelen. Beiden zullen er

beleven. Two is a

Concerti
no No. 1 in F major for
cello and piano. In The
Platinum Series this
excellent piece has been
published in an edition
for clarinet. On the CD
that comes with the book
you will first hear the
piano accompaniment
alone, followed by the
demo version with both
clarinet and piano. It is
of course more
instructive and enjoyable
to play with a live
accompanist if you can,
using the piano part that
is also included. This
piece is a great addition
to the clarinet

Born
in Switzerland, Jean
Xavier Lefevre
(1763-1829) was a
sought-after clarinetist
and one of the first
clarinet professors at
the Paris Conservatory.
He is still known today
for his Clarinet School
(1802), which became a
standard work in France
and beyond. From this
textbook comes the
popular Sonata no. 1 with
its catchy melody that
encourages light
playfulness. The piece is
graded hereas level 2.
Also available: Sonata
No. 2 g minor (SE 1039).
Lefevre wrote the piece
originally for the then
common C-Clarinet. For
use in the classroom,
this edition omits the
transposition ofthe
clarinet part into the B
tuning. The accompanying
bass voice of the
original was transferred
to the piano and
supplemented with some
suggestions on dynamics
and articulation. Hints
and tips from publisher
Rudolf Mauz (Die
frohliche Klarinette)
offer students assistance
in the preparation of the
work. This edition is
part of the Schott
Student Edition series,
which offers a diverse
repertoire of lessons,
concerts and exams of
varying degrees of
difficulty (from easy to
difficult). To this end
Schott continues to
publish popular standard
works from music history
in a modern and clear
edition. For many pieces
an audio file of the
piano accompaniment is
available for
download.

The
two sonatas of Johannes
Brahms's op. 120 are
widely hailed as crowning
points of the repertoire
for clarinet and piano.
Moreover, in the version
for viola and piano
arranged by Brahms
himself, they rank among
the most frequently
played viola works of the
19th century. They far
surpass in compositional
substance the relatively
few original sonatas
written for these
instrumentations during
the same period.Of the
two fellow works, the
Sonata No. 2 in E flat
major is the more
accessible. Diverging
from the
classical-romantic
tradition, Brahms used
the key of E flat major
here not to express the
heroic or monumental, but
to obtain lyrical,
chiefly restrained
characterizations. The
serenade-like beauty of
the principal theme,
which opens the sonata,
has always been
particularly admired. In
his review of the world
premiere, the renowned
Viennese music critic
Eduard Hanslick, a friend
of Brahms's, raves with
the words it was as if it
had fallen from the
Heavens. The closing set
of variations also
follows with gentle
gracefulness this lyrical
character. However, the
middle movement, with its
tempestuous outer
sections in E flat minor
and the hymnic trio in B
major provides a
passionate and serious
contrast, which allows
the flanking idyll to
unfold its beauties all
the more insistently.
