Appalachian fiddle music, based on the musical traditions of the people who settled in the mountainous regions of the southeastern United States, is widely-known and played throughout North America and parts of Europe because of its complex rhythms, its catchy melodies, and its often-ancient-sounding stylistic qualities. The authors explore the lives and music of 43 of the classic Appalachian fiddlers who were active during the first half of the 20th century. Some of them were recorded commercially in the 1920s, such as Gid Tanner, Fiddlin? John Carson, and Charlie Bowman. Some were recorded by folklorists from the Library of Congress, such as William Stepp, Emmett Lundy, and Marion Reece. Others were recorded informally by family members and visitors, such as John Salyer, Emma Lee Dickerson, and Manco Sneed. All of them played throughout most of their lives and influenced the growth and stylistic elements of fiddle music in their regions. Each fiddler has been given a chapter with a biography, several tune transcriptions, and tune histories. To show the richness of the music, the authors make a special effort to show the musical elements in detail, but also acknowledge that nothing can take the place of listening. Many of the classic recordings used in this book can be found on the web, allowing you to hear and read the music together.

György Orbán (born 1947) is among the most frequently performed contemporary Hungarian composers. His style incorporates a characteristic mix of classical, modern, cinematic, and jazz elements. In addition, he claims he ''loves splashing about in tonality,'' which makes his works accessible to the wider public. Owing to his humor and imagination, he finds an easy path to children, as demonstrated by the popularity of his piano works specifically intended for beginners. He composed close to 70 short children s pieces for Ãgnes Lakos s four-volume Friendly Piano Tutor (Z. 14749-14756), later published separately as Enchanted Forest (Z. 14742). The New Bell includes 19 piano piecesfor beginners among others, we encounter a baby elephant now and again (perhaps paying a visit from Debussy s Children s Corner?) and we hear the awful clamor of a most outgoing granny s alarm clock as well as the solemn tolling of a new church-bell. The pieces are arranged in order of difficulty and even include a few items for three hands which may be played by a pupil with the teacher or another student. György Orbán (geb. 1947) ist einer der meistgespielten zeitgenössischen ungarischen Komponisten. In seinem Stil vermischen sich auf charakteristische Weise Elemente der klassischen, zeitgenössischen, Film- und Jazzmusik. Daneben ''plantscht er in der Tonalität'' nach eigener Aussage, so dass seine Werke für ein großes Publikum zugänglich sind. Dank ihres Humors und ihrer Fantasie finden sie auch bei Kindern leichten Zugang: Das beweist die Popularität der ausdrücklich für AnfängerInnen komponierten Klavierwerke. Für die vierbändige Freundliche Klavierschule von Ãgnes Lakos (EMBZ14749-14756) komponierte er fast siebzig kleine Klavierstücke, die später unter dem Titel Der Zauberwald (EMBZ14742) auch eigenständig erschienen.
Die neue Glocke enthält 19 neue Stücke für KlavieranfängerInnen: Unter anderem taucht darin ein kleiner Elefant auf (vielleicht trappelte er aus Debussys Children´s Corner hierher?), man erfährt, wie schrecklich der Wecker von der Oma in Partystimmung klingelt - und natürlich auch, wie würdevoll die neue Glocke der Kirche läutet. Die Stücke folgen einander in der Reihenfolge ihrer Schwierigkeit. Unter ihnen sind auch einige Stücke zu drei Händen zu finden, die mit der Lehrkraft oder einer anderen Schülerin bzw. einem anderen Schüler zusammen vorgetragen werden können.
