'Klassik für Kinder' wants to introduce clarinet pupils to the beauty of Baroque, Classical and Romantic concert literature. Cautiously, not only original clarinet literature was taken up, but catchy tunes and themes from the opera (The Freeshooter, The Magic Flute and others) and the concert hall (Four Seasons, Capriccio Italy, Reverie and others) were used as well. The edition starts with a piece from the Renaissance period, followed by the great composers of the Baroque, European Classical and Romantic eras and completed by several discoveries off the common concert programmes (Blasius, Reinagel, Sullivan). Four centuries of music history which will make the pupils enjoy classical music. The pieces are presented in easy arrangements and can be mastered after about two years of tuition, with the three-line octave being left out.

It is little known that alongside his three great sonatas for clarinet and piano, Reger also wrote two charming miniatures for the same instrumentation. At the same time, it was the composer's express desire to reach a wider public with smaller works such as these that were to be published in music journals. Our single edition (taken from the volume of all of Reger's sonatas and pieces HN 909, also edited by Michael Kube) meets this wish today: its effervescent Tarantella and the Albumblatt that is full of nuances provide clarinettists and pianists with an easy introduction to Max Reger's magical world of sound. / Clarinette Et Piano
