Again and again composers have been inspired by the animal world and have represented the nature of the most diverse animals in music - be it locomotion, such as the flight of a butterfly or the wriggling of a trout, or the imagery of an animal character. For this thematic volume with a classic-romantic focus, Wolfgang Birtel made arrangements for violin and piano and brought together original works.

Claude Debussy composed two chamber music works for the clarinet. He wrote his Première Rhapsodie and his Petite Pièce as mandatory pieces for the wind competitions at the Paris Conservatoire. With their lyrical tone colours and focus on cantabile melodies, Debussy's sound ideal is evident in both pieces as if under a burning glass. Both are now also available for violin and piano, arranged by pianist and composer Dejan Lazic.

Famous pieces by G. F. Handel for Eb Alto Saxophone and Piano ? Vol. 2 is an anthology of four pieces arranged for Alto Saxophone and Piano by Marcel Mule. This second book features four sonatas, all composed initially by G. F. Handel and part of the collection ?Saxophone Classics? by Mule. - First sonata: Flute and Piano - Second sonata: Violin and Piano - Fourth sonata: Flute and Piano - Sixth sonata: Violin and Piano Each sonata should be played separately and their level of difficulty is quite challenging, which would match the abilities of upper intermediate / advanced players who have mastered their breathing. Marcel Mule (1901-2001) is one of the greatest French saxophonists, renowned worldwide for his work on the classical Saxophone repertoire. He was teaching his students how to obtain a good quality of sound and believed it was dependent on the embouchure, the emission, the mastery of vibrato and thus of breathing. He wrote different methods that focus on technique, articulation and tone productions such as 'Dix-huit Exercices ou Etudes', 'Exercices Journaliers d?apres Terschack' or '30 Grands Exercices ou Etudes d?apres Soussmann' (in two books), among others..

This work is part of a cycle of five short pieces for a single instrument and piano, focused on the five ages in the cosmogony of Ancient Mexican civilisation. The peoples of the Mexican highlands believe that time follows specific cycles and that the world was created following the pattern of 'trial and error'. The creation of the world is divided into several periods which are termed 'suns' (we are currently living in the fifth phase named 'Ollin'). Each period will be brought to an end through a natural catastrophe.Solei-Feu refers to the first attempt to create a world out of a rain of fire (nahui quiahuitl).The element of fire is reflected in the musical soundscape of this work, constructed from rampant, rhythmic motifs, fragmented splinters, spinning upswings and impacts reverberating through space. An intimate dialogue develops between violin and piano on the basis of extremely simple figures. Interconnecting lines and dense musical material are thrown against each other in a play of contrasting registers and blended tonal colouring, creating a mysterious and disturbing mythological universe coloured by its ontological pessimism.

The concertos by Oskar Rieding (1840-1918) rank among the 'classics' of teaching literature. The Concerto in B minor in particular is one of the most frequently performed violin concertos for pupils and a wonderful introduction to the world of solo violin repertoire, focusing on tonal beauty at an easy technical level.
