Aside from his popular Violin Concerto no. 1 “ Kol Nidrei ” numbers among Max Bruch ’s most famous compositions. The melancholy “Adagio after Hebrew melodies” was written in 1880 for the cellist Robert Hausmann. It treats two old Jewish songs whose extraordinary beauty proved deeply moving to the Protestant Bruch by his own admission. The tenor Cello sound is the ideal medium for the voice of a Jewish cantor and thus to this day “ Kol Nidrei ” offers every cellist a wonderful opportunity to make the instrument “sing”. In this text based on the first edition of 1881 “ Kol Nidrei ” appears for the first time in an Urtextedition substantiated by scholarly research for which not just the musical sources but also numerous letters and documents from the Max Bruch Archive were consulted. Christian Poltéra was able to be procured for the markings in the solo part.

When Chopin left with George Sand for his oft-cited winter sojourn on Mallorca in autumn 1838 he also took his second ballade with him which was not yet finished. Chopin’s health and other unfavourable circumstances had interfered with his work on the composition- he only completed it in winter 1839. (We have a facsimile of the wonderful autograph- HN 3212.) The printing process was also delayed – not least because of the composer’s considerable financial demands. Following his emigration from Warsaw and his full acceptance into Parisian musical circles Chopin was apparently aware of the value of his music. We now present this work dedicated to Robert Schumann in anaffordable single edition taken from the recently revised edition of the “Ballades”.?

If you've heard jazz guitarists like Joe Pass play chord melody you may think that the style requires an encyclopedic knowledge of music theory musical super-powers or making a deal with the devil. But fear not! This book will show you how to create your own satisfying chord melody arrangements on the mandolin...and will do so in a practical applicable non stroke-inducing way. Aaron Weinstein has many musical accomplishments. I am very proud to have played a small part with some of them. When he was only 12 he made his first recordings and asked me to play mandolin on them. I was knocked out to encounter someone that young that was conversant in both old-time or contest fiddling and Joe Venuti style jazz. Not long after that Aaron became interested in the mandolin and chords and he came by every so often to play and discuss voicings improvisation and the like. I showed him some of the Jethro Burns chord melody arrangements that Jethro showed me. I've been teaching those for decades in hopes of one day playing them smoothly myself! Fast forward a few more years and Aaron has a Berklee degree traveled the world playing hot violin music and is hobnobbing with the greatest NYC jazz stars. And oh yeah one other thing: he took the art of chord-melody mandolin style to an entirely new level! The rich harmonies of the standard jazz and show tune repertoire the swinging bass lines and connecting chords and independent voice movements (doing more than one thing at a time) are all present in Aaron's style thanks to his great ear open mind and gift at locating things on the fretboard. And now Aaron has documented explained and shared his discoveries and approach with all of us in this book. Thank you Aaron! This is truly a step-by-step method that you will enjoy. You'll find yourself saying 'oh of course!' as the author gets you playing and understanding things that sound very detailed and complex. The first section I would call the mandolinistic stuff: the how-to on getting things moving and connected on the fretboard. This part is laid out in a very logical manner with clear explanations and fun activities. After working through these etudes you will know the fretboard better and be a better mandolin playing musician regardless of what style of music is your favorite. As I looked this part over I recalled the parable about 'give someone a fish and he will have a meal. Teach him to fish and he'll eat the rest of his life..' The second part puts your new-found chops to work playing some great solo chord melody tunes Weinstein style. Again the author walks us gently into the material by providing two versions of each piece the basic structure followed by a more developed version. In the history of mandolin playing there have been many examples of techniques arrangements and music that might be thought of as 'chord-melody' style. Consider works by Raffaele Calace or 'Duo' style from the early twentieth century American stylists and

Guitar Concerto Opus 67 was commissioned by Julian Bream who gave the first performance in Aldeburgh with the Melos Ensemble. It is an overt tribute to Jazz and especially to Django Reinhardt. This is particularly evident in the long slow movement which someone once described as a script for a Hitchcock thriller. The most remarkable feature of Arnold’s Guitar Concerto is that the composer cleverly eschewed all clichés in his guitar writing be they Spanish or Jazz and that he approached his task in his own inimitable way. The scoring for small forces is a miracle of economy clarity and efficiency. Malcolm Arnold at his best and at his most inventive thiswonderfully crafted piece has become a favourite.
