Cyril Scott’s music is currently the subject of major revival, having lain largely ignored for much of the 20th Century. Once described as 'the father of modern British music' by Eugene Goossens, and admired by Claude Debussy, Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinsky and his lifelong friend Percy Grainger, he composed four hundred works including: four Symphonies, three Operas, two Piano Concertos, four Oratorios, Concertos for Violin, Cello, Oboe and Harpsichord, several Overtures, Tone Poems, many Chamber works and innumerable songs.There is a story that when Bernard Shaw commented to Elgar on the (then) daring harmonies of his Second Symphony Elgar replied 'You mustn’t forget, it was Cyril Scott started all that!'.'a pioneer of British piano music, producing more piano works in the period 1903-1914 than any other British composer and any other international one, with the exception of Scriabin... (He) was a key figure before World War I in helping Britain to break away from musical conservatism and the prevailing Germanic influences.' (Lisa Hardy, The British Piano Sonata 1870-1945).

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.
