The well-known Liebeslieder op. 52, originally for piano four hands and voices ad libitum, appear here for the first time as a modern Urtext edition in a hitherto little-known form for voices and piano for two hands. Brahms made this arrangement himself in November 1874 after the conductor Hermann Levi, who had initially been commissioned, had rejected it. Brahms had previously immersed himself in the pieces again for the four-hand version without voice op. 52A, so that he was now able to create the new arrangement in a few days. Here, Brahms explicitly intended the voices no longer as ad libitum, since the vocal parts are not completely incorporated in the piano part any more. In the spring of 1875, this version was published by Simrock, but it could not prevail against the popular original version and was presumably mainly performed in a domestic setting. The present edition would like to invite musicians to rediscover, practically test and perform a still little-known form of the Liebeslieder op. 52. The musical text follows the new Brahms Complete Edition, on which the informative preface is also based.

'Talking whilst playing the drum is not something unique. We can find it in traditional Indian percussion, and in jazz when musicians accompany their play with 'Sprechgesang'. This piece goes the opposite way: It begins with the percussionist speaking nonsensically, the emphasis on the rhythm, which he then passes on to his instrument. Like the pure, childish joy of repeating the same word in a different tune, the soloist teaches his instrument to speak until the drums start to talk themselves. Several poems form the basis; in the first two movements it are three poems by Sandor Weores, and in the third movement it is a poemby Jayadeva. Each sentence has a more complex form than the one before. Rhythms form words, words form sentences, and sentences create a narrative.' (Ann-yi Bingol).

The children's opera Brundibar by Hans Krása and Adolf Hoffmeister became particularly famous through the role it played in the concentration camp Terez n. It helped to make the tragic fate ofthe prisoners more human and bearable - of those who played in the opera and of those who went to see the more than fifty performances of it. The famous first night of Brundibár in Terez n took place on September 23rd 1943 in thehall of Magdeburg barracks. 'The children liked the opera from the very first. Both the music and the text. Both are childlike, the music is modern and melodious...' - R. Franek, The Terez n School,Prague1965.
This edition includes the original Czech libretto by Adolf Hoffmeister, plus an English translation by Joza Karas and a German translation by Frank Harders-Wuthenow and Matthias Harre.

A dreamlike and evocative work from Peter Maxwell Davies for flute and orchestra. The piece captures the wonder and sanctuary of the composer's home, surrounded by seabirds and seals that fire the imagination in childlike ways, evoking images of mermaids and angels. Descriptive and inventive orchestral colours support and illuminate the flute solo material that is both tranquil and highly virtuosic. The piece was first performed in May 1999 at the Royal Concert Hall, Dublin.

Inch....this work is likely to become a standart work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken inch. (Oliver James,Contact Magazine) A novel and comprehensive approach to transferring from the C to F instrument. 430 music examples include folk and national songs (some in two parts), country dance tunes and excerpts from the standard treble repertoire ofBach, Barsanti, Corelli, Handel, Telemann, etc. An outstanding feature of the book has proved to be Brian Bonsor's brilliantly simple but highly effective practice circles and recognition squares designed to give, in only a few minutes, concentrated practice on the more usual leaps to and from each new note and instant recognition of random notes. Quickly emulating the outstanding success of the descant tutors, these books are very popular even with those who normally use tutors other than the Enjoy the Recorder series.

Sofia Gubaidulina took Christian Morgenstern’s collection of poems “Gallow Songs†as the starting point for her own song cycle. Gubaidulina adapted 15 of Morgenstern’s seemingly childlike, formally simple poems, which are full of linguistic playfulness, for mezzo-soprano, double bass and percussion. In her settings, the composer subtly explores the ambiguities of Morgenstern’s poems and transforms their grotesque imagery into unique miniatures of sound. 14 of these songs are also available in a version for mezzo-soprano, flute, double bass, bayan and percussion.

This popular work reflects a shift in Mahler's musical development, as he formulated the sophisticated idea of the program. In this case, the poetic idea traces the progress from experience---as represented by the first movement---to the innocent, childlike vision of Paradise.
