Il écrivit près de 600 pièces pour son instrument, réparties en 5 livres, chacun comprenant, entre autres, une quarantaine de suites. Nicolas Prost propose une sélection de 24 pièces adaptées pour saxophone, qui pourront aisément être programmées pour le concert ou dans le cadre pédagogique, comme études mélodiques et virtuoses, à partir du 2e cycle.

Five Old French Dances for Viola Violin or Cello with piano accompaniment by Marin Marais arranged by M.E. Aldis and L.T. Rowe.

The combination of Flute and Guitar is becoming increasingly popular among music school pupils and concert performers. This publication From Renaissance To Ragtime expands the fairly narrow repertoire for this combination of instruments to include arrangements of famous compositions such as variations on the famous English Renaissance song Greensleeves famous melodies by Johann Sebastian Bach (Air Siciliana Badinerie) the popular Minuet by Luigi Boccherini Chopin's virtuoso Variations on a Theme of Rossini and Scott Joplin's popular ragtime tune The Entertainer(familiar from the film The Sting). In order that these relatively demanding arrangements can be enjoyed by a broad spectrum of performers editor Pavel Kloub selected compositions which can easily be played not only on the Flute but also on the Oboe or Violin.Contents:Green Sleeves (variations on the english renaissance song) [Fleury Louis]Le Basque [Marais Marin]Air [Bach Johann Sebastian]Siciliano [Bach Johann Sebastian]Menuet [Bach Johann Sebastian]Badinerie [Bach Johann Sebastian]Menuet [Boccherini Luigi]Variations on a theme of Rossini [Chopin Frederic]The Entertainer [Joplin Scott]
