This two-volume anthology has been designed on the living experience of teaching as material intended for descant recorder players at the beginner and intermediate level. The progressive order allows an approach to ensemble music, starting from the use of just the notes of the left hand, and proceeds with the acquisition of the new positions reaching the chromatic range of an octave and a sixth.The repertoire used consists exclusively of dance music from the French and Flemish area contained in various collections published between 1530 and 1583 by various composers and editors. This choice was dictated by a number of different factors: the extremely clear and symmetrical metric and formal schemes typical of the Renaissance dance form, with due and useful exceptions, help to understand the concept of musical phrase; the use of coded and recurring rhythmic formulas makes it possible to perfect the rhythmic division; harmony based mostly on the basic steps helps to form an experience of listening, intonation and understanding of the main harmonic functions. No less significant are other elements, such as variety in the length of the pieces, from a few bars up to several dozen, which favours the development of concentration and attention, with the same technical difficulties. Above all, however, the vastness of the repertoire, more than 500 compositions, makes it possible to choose and order the pieces with an idea of ​​technical and musical progressiveness comparable to that of a method. The edition is produced in such a way that all the pieces can be performed in four parts except for some in five parts, in different ensembles. The most basic is in reduced three-part form of descant, tenor and bass, the latter two are given respectively to the right and left hand of the keyboard player. Since recorders play at the octave above, the tenor part is also transposed in the same way to make the sound of the three upper voices homogeneous, while the bass retains its original range. It is also possible to enlarge the group to play the full four voices with the addition of an alto or tenor recorder playing the alto part, available in the separate part, and two more instruments, tenor and bass recorders or others, performing the respective lines alone or doubling with the keyboard.

The present collection has been compiled for descant recorder. This instrument was ousted from use in the age of the Viennese Classics, and it has regained its rights only in the present century. This explains why the collection comprises-in addition to new Hungarian music-almost exclusively Renaissance and Baroque works. As it is well known, the masters of old times put down their works only in outline, and the music has to be reconstructed by a practised performer. This collection is intended to help in assimilating the spirit of these old styles. All the old works are given here in both their original and ornamented variants. The ornamentations have been taken over fromcontemporaneous arrangements, and where none were available, we worked them out on the basis of contemporaneous performing practice. All the solutions serve only as suggestions with his expanding stylistic knowledge the student himself should also boldly invent and extemporize ornamentation! Die vorliegende Sammlung ist für Sopran-Blockflöte zusammengestellt. Dieses Instrument wurde zur Zeit der Wiener Klassiker aus der Praxis verdrängt und erlangte erst in diesem Jahrhundert wieder seine Rechte. Dies erklärt die Zusammensetzung unserer Sammlung, die außer der neuen ungarischen Musik fast ausschließlich Werke der Renaissance und des Barocks enthält. Es ist allgemein bekannt, daß die alten Meister ihre Musik nur skizzenhaft notierten, und die berufenen Interpreten sollen ihre Werke rekonstruieren. Der Zweck der Sammlung ist: hilfreich die Aneignung des Geistes der alten Stile zu fördern. Wir bringen alle alten Werke in der ursprünglichen und verzierten Variante.Die Ornamente wurden aus zeitgenössischen Bearbeitungen genommen, und wo solche uns nicht zur Verfügung standen, wurden die Ornamente aufgrund der zeitgenössischen Vortragspraxis ausgearbeitet. Diese Lösungen sind lediglich Vorschläge.

This volume contains, in addition to well-known movements and pieces, ample material passing for novelty even for those initiated starting from the Renaissance dances to present-day Hungarian folksong arrangements. It is worth trying to play from it after one year of treble recorder studies already. Besides beginners intermediary students can also perform some of the pieces. For them the original Baroque sonata movements may prove interesting.

The two volumes contain 69 works and movements altogether, in chronological order: in Volume 1, from the Renaissance to Beethoven, and in Volume 2 from Weber up to the present day. Most of them are transcriptions of instrumental or choral works, the easiest ones can be played after just a few months of clarinet study. The supplementary parts supplied enable the clarinet (or bass clarinet) in the two outer parts to be replaced by a non-transposing instrument: flute, oboe or violin, and bassoon or cello.

The viol player Diego Ortiz, who was musical director at the court of the Spanish viceroy in Naples in the mid-16th century, wrote a textbook which became authoritative for the art of improvisation during the Renaissance. This textbook contains pieces with written improvisations in the tradition of the Renaissance period. Although the writing of improvisations was a contradiction in terms even then, Ortiz' pieces are excellent textbooks for the study of the structures and rules of this art.
