Robert Schumanns Album fur die Jugend (Album for the Young) was written in 1848 as a Christmas present for his children and was originally entitled Weihnachtsalbum fur Kinder, die gern Clavier spielen (Christmas Album, for children who like to play the piano). The 43 pieces combine pedagogic aims with artistic quality, a rare combination in the musical repertoire. Our new edition contains nine pieces which were missing in the first edition: For the Very Small - Dolls Lullaby - In a Gondola - Guckoo in Hiding - Catch Me if You Can - Venetian Lagoon - Bear-Dance - Rebus - [Little Waltz]

Isaac Albénizs first Suite espagnole, op. 47, composed in 1886 (a second suite was to follow in 1889), belongs, as the title suggests, to that part of his work coloured by folk-music and nationalistic elements. With its eight dance movements the work refers musically to Spanish towns and landscapes. The individual pieces differ considerably as far as the technical demands made on the performer are concerned. Taken as a whole they represent the composers characteristically recognizable preference for large sonorous chords, for guitar-like tremolo sounds and for rhythmic and harmonic effects taken from folk-music.

In 1888 Grieg arranged four pieces from his incidental music for Ibsens verse drama Peer Gynt to form an orchestral suite (Op. 46). This was followed in 1891 by a second orchestral suite (Op. 55) again comprising 4 pieces. Both suites quickly became established in the concert repertoire and contributed significantly to Griegs international fame. He made piano arrangements of both suites and published them simultaneously with the orchestral suites in 1888 and 1893. Grieg subsequently made further adjustments in the piano pieces: shortening some, for example Morning, and expanding others like The Death of se. Overall, Grieg reduces the dramatic orchestral conception in favour of a more intimate expression and more restrained effects.

In 1874 Mussorgsky wrote his famous piano cycle inspired by an exhibition of pictures by his friend Viktor Hartmann. The resources of musical realism are used to describe the ten pictures in great detail; the interposed "Promenades" then reflect the subjective impressions and feelings of the visitor looking at the pictures. This edition is based on Mussorgskys original score, with the addition of a few markings apparently overlooked by the composer, inserted in brackets. Fingerings have been added, together with the original comments on individual pieces from the first edition. These comments by the art critic Vladimir Stassov, the organiser of the exhibition, outline the "programmatic" nature of the musical composition. A major work in the piano repertoire!

The idea of writing a book like this came after playing brazilian music with musicians from all over the world for many years. Usually what happens is that everybody trys to play the rhythm theyve learned somewhere/somehow or the rhythm they have in their mind, which might be "ok". as long as a second person doesnt join in. Then the problem starts. If a group of 4 or 5 musicians dont know how it functions rhythmwise, possibly its gonna be a mess. Thats exactly what happens and very often if you dont know the basic rules. If you dont know what and when each instrument should play, youve got to learn it. Thats what this book is about. What most people think about, when they wanna listen to brazilian music ?! Samba, Bossa-Nova. Thats right! But its not all. I found an old book with about 50 different rhythms from north to south, east to west of Brazil, and they say its not all. So...We have to start from some point, thats why i just took the most common and known rhythms together with their usual instruments and show them here as examples, going down to the roots of those rhythms. You are not going to learn how to play any instrument with this book. That was never the purpose of this book, but to show how to play in a brazilian way the brazilian music in a group of two, three or more musicians without sounding like a locomotive and a horse galoping simultaneously. The example here are quiet simple and thats how it is supposed to be. Thats when some people who are used to play complicated music style get stuck without knowing what to do to make it insteresting. Its all about feeling it and grooving, once you learned the basic rules.Welcome to the world of brazilian music!

On his sister Fannys birthday on 14 November 1828 Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy surprised her with a piano piece in E flat major entitled Lied. A little later, Fanny called the work Lied ohne Worte (Song Without Words). This is the first time this term was mentioned, under which ca. 50 lyrical piano pieces by Mendelssohn became popular later. In his lifetime the composer had six volumes printed, and another two collections were compiled and published posthumously. The present edition is a selection of the most popular pieces at an intermediate level of difficulty.

Griegs "Lyric Pieces" are among the most popular piano pieces ever written. Works such as "Papillon", "Fairy-Dance" and "To Spring" have become cult pieces in the repertoire of domestic music-making.

In the autograph of his Inventions, J.S. Bach set out the aim of these pieces, formulating a dual purpose: the keyboard player should, on the one hand, practise polyphonic playing with two obligatory parts and develop a cantabile style; at the same time he should also be given an introduction to the study of composition, and learn how a piece can be developed from an invented theme (Inventio) by means of imitative techniques. Our new edition in the well-known Piano Classics series is intended for teaching purposes and provides a reliable text, an introduction to the work as well as a table for the realization of J. S. Bachs ornaments and trills.

The notebook though wasnt used solely by Nannerl but also by her younger brother Wolfgang, and the talented boy didnt just use it for piano practice but soon started to compose his own little pieces. Either Wolfgang himself or his father wrote them into the remaining empty pages of the notebook. This new edition contains only compositions by Leopold and Wolfgang Mozart.
