Six Suites - Vol. 1 for Alto Recorder is the first volume of a series of two by J. S. Bach. Initially composed for Cello between 1717 and 1723 it was transcribed by Jean-Claude Veilhan and features the Suites I II and III. The transcription keeps the original key and only some passages have to be played one octave higher than in the original sheet. The first suite BWV 1007 is in G major and contains a Prelude an Allemande a Courante a Sarabande two Minuets and a Guigue. Its Prelude is the most famous movement of the whole set of Suites consisting mainly of only arpeggiated chords. It can be heard in manyfilms and is highly recognisable. The second one BWV1008 is in D minor and held the same movements' organisation. Its prelude in two parts features a cadenza which leads to other cadenzas in the Allemande. The Minuet part is quite technical to play. Finally the third one BWV 1009 in C major sees the Minuets being replaced by Bourrées which are often played together as a solo material. The second Bourrée only has a partial signature and the Allemande has a rhythm quite unique for the piece as it includes three semiquavers instead of one. These suites also exist arranged for Piano for Trombone and for many other instruments.

Two minuets from Handel's famous Royal Fireworks Music. Comes with full score and three of each part.

It contains minuets and German dances, sonatas and single movements as well as a few variations - including some for four hands.

Ideal for teaching and playing at home. Great works for little masters!/ Répertoire / Piano

“A mendicant woman from the Haynstrasse aged 59 years Anna Magdalena née Wilckin widow of Mr. Johann Sebastian Bach cantor at the St. Thomas School” – thus reads the entry dated 29 February 1760 in the Leipzig 'Ratsleichenbuch” (City Register of Deaths) for a woman whose name has become known throughout the world thanks to the two music books put together for her by Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach himself opened the book with two of the large Partitas subsequently published in the first part of the 'Clavierübung”; the rest of the contents was determined by Anna Magdalena. On the whole these areshort pieces of “galanterie”: minuets polonaises marches compositions by the elder children and attempts by the younger ones little pieces which she copied out of the family guest book and which had been written there more or less as tokens of friendship by the many visitors in the Bach home. - Urtext of the New Bach Edition - Edition with fingering also available BA5242 - Bibliophile performing edition hardback BA5115

Faksimile der Originalhandschrift-J. S. Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena(1725).This hardback facsimile edition bound in green with gold trimmings and bearing the initials ???A.M.B.??? and ???1725??? on the front cover presents one of the greatest albums of household music. It is primarily the personal album of Anna Magdalena Bach (1701-1760) daughter of the court and military trumpeter Johann Caspar Wilcke a trained musician and court singer and second wife to Johann Sebastian Bach. The album contains partitas (two in Bach's own hand probably intended as a tribute to his wife) minuets polonaises marches and short pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach hischildren and a few visitors to the Bach home. The volume also contains little vocal pieces songs and chorales as well as exercises in harmony and thoroughbass realisations.The pieces are arranged chronologically (except for the last section) and several members of the Bach family helped with the copying - only Wilhelm Friedemann's hand is absent. The majority of the pieces (28 works) are in Anna Magdalena's hand and the volume provides a tantalising glimpse into the everyday world of this musical family.Documenta Musicologica II 25; Format 26cm x 20cm.Afterword (Ger-Eng-Fr); 140 pages facsimile; 24 pages text.

Gradations is music of variety of change of progression of growing up even. Mozart’s first keyboard minuets are here as is a pair of Marcello sonatas. A sonatina by Clementi sits alongside 'Kaleidoscope' by Benjamin Lees. Bartók and Bach knew all about children’s keyboard development and are each represented by absolute gems. César Franck’s Doll’s Lament and Kabalevsky’s My stubborn little brother represent more negative childhood emotions but in the main this is music of happiness and fun. Piano Moods is an exciting new piano series from Boosey & Hawkes. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey &Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.

This Notebook For Anna Madgalena Bach contains 20 short pieces that J.S.Bach presented to his second wife. This edition contains selections from the 1722 and 1725 notebooks featuring pieces composed byBach himself. Featuring Minuets Rondeaux Polonaises and Marches the Notebook For Anna Magdalena is both a collection of wonderful music and a fascinating insight into Bach'spersonal life and his relationship with his wife.

The profound compositional abilities of Beethoven are no clearer demonstrated than through his works for solo Piano the instrument upon which he was a renowned and virtuosic performer. The sentimental magic of Fur Elise and the storm of Tempest have transcended generations and shifts in musical understanding to be firm favourites in today's repertoire. Reproduced from authoritative sources this collection illustrates Beethoven's mastery of form with a wide variety of Bagatelles Sonatinas Minuets and of course Sonatas. Essential repertoire for the Pianist now available in one attractively priced volume.

15 well-known original pieces in progressive order of difficulty with practical comments-This volume opens with especially easy minuets written by Mozart when he was just eight years old. A successful mix of well-known and unusual pieces leads the player all the way to the profound Fantasy in d minor. A specialfeature here is the C-major study which has not been available in any Henle edition until now. Selected individual movements from Mozart’s piano sonatas show the stylistic and emotional breadth and subtlety of his music andoffer manifold opportunities to practise and overcome specific technical challenges.

Six Duets For 2 Violins Op. 23. The ?Six Duos concertans?, which are today known under the opus number 23, feature wonderful instrumental music by Ignaz Pleyel. In contrast to other works to which the composer assigned the attribute ?easy?, the pieces from op. 23 are designated ?concertante?. They are indeed more demanding in terms of execution, but at the same time appealing works from the quill of the then extremely popular Pleyel, works that are eminently usable in music lessons and recitals. The uniformly two-movement compositions bring together great melodic richness and eclectic forms in their colourful mixture of sonata movements, rondos, minuets and variations. Like all Urtext editions of instrumental music from Henle, this edition is also comfortably equipped: an unmarked performance score is supplemented by two enclosed parts whose markings stem from Evelyne Grüb-Trauer?s many years of teaching experience. The first Urtext edition of these popular duets!
