Frédéric Chopin composed his piano trio when he was an 18-year-old student. About the performance of the trio on 31 August 1830 he wrote: “On Sunday we rehearsed the trio. Perhaps because I haven’t heard it for a while, I was very happy with myself (fortunate man!).” Incidentally, Robert Schumann also shared this opinion, writing in a review: “Is it not as noble as possible, more full of enthusiasm than any song ever written by a poet, original in the smallest detail as in the whole, every note music and life?” We agree with this verdict and recommend this trio in our new Urtext edition to all lovers of highly romantic chamber music.

The Czech composer Antonin Rejcha (also Anton Reicha, 1770–1836) was famous as both an experimental composer and as a teacher and theorist. His 36 Fugues for Piano testify to this experimentalism; they can be seen as a type of “Well-Tempered Piano of the new ages”, basing the traditional Baroque fugue on radical new fundaments. The first edition of this unusual collection was produced in 1803 in Vienna by Reicha’s own publishing company “Au Magasin de l’Imprimerie chimique”. It included both a dedication poem to Joseph Haydn and a comprehensive foreword in which Reicha identifies the characteristics of his compositional style. The second edition (Vienna 1805) included a short theoretical text “Über das neue Fugensystem” (“On the new fugal system”) in the form of a polemic, reacting to his critics, one of whom was Beethoven. Six fugues are based on the themes of other composers (Haydn, Bach, Mozart, Scarlatti, Frescobaldi, Handel). The musical text is a corrected reprint of the edition by Václav Jan Sýkora from 1973, which itself was based on the referred to edition from 1805 as well as on the later edition by Tobias Haslinger (Vienna, c. 1828). Works historically important to the development of the fugue New foreword by Roman Dykast (Cz/Eng/Ger)

One of the finest music manuscripts – for scholarly and practical use My Ladye Nevells Booke is one of the finest musical manuscripts of the late 16th century. With its 42 compositions, it comprises about a third of the keyboard music by William Byrd – including some of his most popular compositions such as the variations on “Sellinger’s Round” and “All in a Garden Green”. Byrd himself selected the pieces for this anthology and directed the work of copyist John Baldwin. The meticulous, small corrections, found on almost every page, were most probably written by Byrd himself. The grand coat-of-arms at the beginning refers to Sir Henry Neville of Billingbear (Berkshire) and as such identifies his wife Elizabeth as the dedicatee. The manuscript did not become public property until 2006 when it was purchased for the British Library. Now it is published in book form for the first time and gives the musician an impression of the richly decorated preserved original volume. In his commentary, Byrd specialist Oliver Neighbour describes the genesis and history of the work. He also provides information on Byrd’s concept, the chosen repertoire and gives technical details on the notation.

Anniversary edition on the occasion of the 75th birthday of Valentin Silvestrov: 'This work could well be called (in analogy to Bach's 'Art of Fugue') 'Art of Melody' if there were a didactic mission. But here is no 'art' whatsoever, only melodies – flashing moments, captured, frozen in time, songs without words – words which may be lost or forgotten.' (V. Silvestrov)

Whose ears are not instantly filled with the dreamy flute solo when Debussy’s "Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune" is mentioned? Very few people know that before he wrote the orchestral score Debussy made a version for two pianos. Both versions should be seen as being independent, and they differ in some details. The differences are revealed in our edition, as are Debussy’s entries concerning the work in his copy of the score. The volume also contains the Spanish impression "Lindaraja" and the three pieces "En blanc et noir", in which Debussy addresses the horrors of World War I. Andreas Groethuysen, one half of the famous piano duo Tal & Groethuysen, provided the fingerings.

Written in 1823 while the precocious Felix Mendelssohn was but fourteen years of age, this unusual and impressive 'double' concerto represents a rather uncommon solo pairing in the concerto world - that of piano and violin - brimming with exciting solo passages and beautiful melodies that combine to create a wonderful overall experience. MMO proudly presents this learning and performance edition featuring piano virtuoso Adrien Oetiker performing alongside master violinist Mario Hossen and Les Orpheistes Chamber Orchestra of Vienna. Study Mr. Oetiker's performance, then as he steps aside you can take center stage with the orchestra and Mr. Hossen for a truly thrilling performance! Includes an authoritative performance edition of the piano part, newly engraved and printed on high-quality ivory paper. The 2 CDs contain the complete version of the concerto performance; followed by a second version minus the soloist; as well as a slow-tempo version of the accompaniments for practice purposes.

This oft-requested Mozart piano concerto is truly one of his treasures. Written in 1784, it is written in typical three-movement form (Allegro vivace-Andante-Allegro vivace) and features a beautiful orchestration of strings complemented with a generous wind ensemble: flute, oboes, bassoons, and horns. The third movement is quite unusual for its time in that Mozart utilizes many meter changes. A delight for any pianist! Includes slow-tempo practice accompaniments.

This is an exclusive arrangements for piano, voice or other instruments of EASY skill level from the original composition by Miscellaneous. This title is available as instant sheet music download. Contents: o lord most holy, jingle bells, o come all ye faithful, the first nowell, joy to the world, we wish you a merry christmas, the coventry carol, deck the halls, what child is this, o christmas tree, silent night, carol of the bells, twinkle twinkle little star, jesu joy of man desiring, Greensleeves, greensleaves, jesu joy of man desiring, green sleeves, greensleves, the first noel, pie jesu, ave maria, panis angelicus
