A Czech folk tune with words and arrangement by Malcolm sargent.For unison voices and piano.

Czechoslovakia has a rich and diverse heritage of folk-tunes many of which have a vigorous quality that is particularly attractive to young pianists. These fifty-two pieces are selected from a volume of one hundred by the distinguished Czech composer Petr Eben originally published in Prague. The tunes are given simple but inventive arrangements which often illustrate their descriptive titles. They are carefully graded (Grades 1-3) progressively introducing new technical elements. Petr Eben born in South Bohemia in 1929 has pursued a notable teaching career at Charles University Prague alongside his principalactivities as composer and pianist. His concern for young musicians is reflected in his Czech adaptation of Orff's Schulwerk and a large number of compositions for children. His creative arrangements of folk-tunes have already proved a great success with Piano teachers and pupils in Czechoslovakia; they will delight all those who enjoy for example the Bartok and Kodaly arrangements of East European folk material. Included in ABRSM Piano Grade 1 & 2 Syllabus 2017-2018 alternative pieces.

Par DAVIES JOHN. The 15 little pieces in the Really Easy C Clarinet Book have been written and selected with beginners in mind, but within the technical limitations this imposes there is plenty of scope for musical interest. The pieces are arranged progressively, so as well as musical satisfaction there's the pleasure of step-by-step improvement. The piano accompaniments have been kept as simple as possible.  / Instrumental Music, Methods and Tutors / Recueil / Clarinette et Instruments En Do
