(Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music). These ten arrangements are a welcome addition to Rachmaninoff's small but significant output of original works for cello and piano. Klaus Simon comments that Rachmaninoff's songs are some of the most beautiful in the whole repertoire and especially suitable for cello. The instrument's sound is so flexible and beautiful for melody, and with its warm sound and potential for intense vibrato and tasteful portamenti it is ideally suited to the task. The order of this edition is a suggestion by the arranger which has worked very well in concerts; performers should feel free to choose their own combination.

(Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music). The full range of traditional fiddle repertoire is now at your fingertips! Using these generous collections, you can create your ownceilidh, barn dance, jazz club or Sarajevo street-cafe. Some of this music is familiar, some more exotic, but all of it is absolutely authentic, faithfully arranged and, above all, hugely enjoyable. Each title in the series is available in two formats: the Violin Edition (with an optional easy violin part and guitar chords); or the Complete Edition, which also includes both keyboard and violin accompaniments. Either format is hugely flexible, which means the music can be played as solos, duets or trios as well as with larger ensembles. Edward Huws Jones has travelled extensively researching fiddle-playing traditions. In each book he explains the background of the particular musical style, giving his own suggestions for a lively performance.

Dieser Zyklus von 153 kleinen Stücken ist wohl inzwischen zu einem Klassiker der Literatur für den Klavierunterricht und für das Klavier überhaupt geworden. Bartók sah in ihnen eine Reihe von Stücken in vielen verschiedenen Stilen, die alle zusammen eine eigene kleine Welt, die Welt der Kinder, repräsentieren. Stilistisch gesehen spiegelt sich in diesem Mikrokosmos der Einfluss der Volksmusik auf Bartóks Schaffen wider. Die verwendeten Rhythmen und Harmonien lassen eine Musik entstehen, die heute genauso modern ist wie zu der Zeit ihrer Entstehung. Die 153 Stücke des Zyklus sind in sechs Bänden erschienen, zusammengestellt nach ihrem technischen und musikalischen Schwierigkeitsgrad. Jeder Band enthält eine Einführung von Bartóks Sohn Peter.
