There has been increased general interest in the Bohemian composer Johann Baptist Georg Neruda (c. 1711–1776) over the past few years, especially due to his frequently played trumpet concerto. A respected violinist and longstanding member of the Dresden Court Orchestra, he did, however, mainly compose for the Violin.
The substantial and technically quite demanding Violin Sonata in a minor was published for the first time ever in 1982 as part of Henle's edition “Bohemian Violin Sonatas” (HN 334). Henle are now proud to present it in a practical single edition with a new preface as well as an additional unmarked part.

Alto-Solo I by Patrick Marcland for solo Viola.

Instruments: Viola, Strings
In his preface, the author reminds the reader that this is not a book for the absolute beginner. Even the experienced player may not "get it" on first reading a given tune, but "You can expect to enjoy the process of learning... [and experience] the joy of recreating a traditional tune, of making it your own." This is the teacher/ student pact in effect throughout this marvelous book, written for the literary as much as the musical connoisseur. Although no classical violin experience is needed, you will need to know how to hold the fiddle and bow, and be able to play at least simple tunes in the first position. Having the ability to read music will enable you to follow the bowing patterns and left-hand techniques which the author feels are crucial in grasping the playing style.

Learn to improvise in the Gypsy Jazz violin style even if you have never improvised before. The style is closely associated with French jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli, who played with Gypsy jazz guitar player Django Reinhardt. Each lesson in the book covers specific key aspects of the Gypsy jazz violin style. The techniques are presented sequentially and the underlying music theory is introduced on a “need to know” basis.Getting Into Gypsy Jazz Violin includes charts of classic swing tunes such as Avalon, The Sheik of Araby & After You’ve Gone and includes a CD featuring authentic accompaniment tracks and model violin performances. Because the Gypsy jazz violin style maintains common elements of traditional classical violin techniques such as vibrato and shifting, the book is a perfect vehicle for the classical violinist to learn to improvise without having to change their general approach to the instrument.

Then prepare to tackle six classic Stéphane Grappelli solos, annotated and analyzed for your understanding. To grasp the finesses of sound and timing, there are many sample licks and solos by Tim Kliphuis on the CD as well. It is assumed the student reads music and has a basic command of the instrument.

At the beginning of the 1870s, Camille Saint-Saëns showed a particular fondness for the Violoncello. He completed his first Cello Sonata in December 1872, immediately after finishing his first Cello Concerto. The sonata is strongly reminiscent of Beethoven, not only due to the key of c minor but also predominantly on account of its gripping dramatic art. The exceptional position of this demanding, in parts highly virtuosic sonata was quickly recognised by the public and critics and so the work soon found its way into concert repertoire. Henle's Urtext edition takes all surviving sources into account – for the first time ever. Pascal Rogé and David Geringas kindly provided the markings for the Piano and Cello parts.

Written for David Heyes as part of his "Fizz at 50" project. "Gerty Goat Scuffer" (in case you wondered) is one of many nick-names we had for a much loved family dog - officially named "Heavy Hetty" from a character in an imaginative children's book of that name.
In my youth as a composition student at the RAM, I discovered that walking a dog for an hour a day is the anti-dote to the long hours required as a composer, "sat you yer bum" writing at a desk, and (in those pre-computer years) writing endless parts out by hand. First of these 'best friends' was a glorious Gordon Setter called "Sophie", (my first love), who accompanied Pat and I on our honeymoon across Scotland. Thirty years later, we were privileged to enjoy the company of three therapeutic beasts; "Merlin" (a prize winning Pyrenean Mountain Dog), "Gael" (an over energetic Scottish Border Collie) and "Hetty" (a unique cross between a Pyrenean Mountain Dog and a St. Bernard - something of a "kennel-maid's Accident").
Hetty (see picture) is unfortunately no longer with us now. She had an extraordinary puppy-hood that left her with titanium plates holding her back legs together. Hetty was surprisingly active though, right through to the age of nearly 10 - speciality: chasing Pheasants in the grounds at Strathmashie - but she became progressively hampered by arthritis, and 'scuffed along' on her vast hairy pads with a swagger. She also used to remind our children of a mountain goat. Songs have been written about her, but this is the first instrumental work that she has inspired!
The pervading thematic motive of the piece (heard from the outset), cheekily alludes to an (over) famous Saint-Saëns work for double bass (but no insult is intended to Hetty!). The increasingly roving tonality and unusually sudden shifts of key, combined with the use of jazz chords, combines to present a short but heartfelt tribute to a unique animal that provided untold pleasure to all she came into contact with, simply by just being "herself".
