Aus Preludes I für Violine und Klavier- The first volume of Debussy ’s Préludes for Piano (HN 383) was published in 1910 and was soon followed by arrangements for various scorings commissioned by the original publisher. Debussy personally transcribedonly one Prélude Minstrels which was released in 1914 in a version for Violin and Piano. Back at that time “ Minstrels ” was the name given to comedians who performed in blackface andcaricatured the alleged behaviour of Blacks in America. The arrangement is of interest not only to pianists since Debussy intervened in the original musical text by adding variants but also to violinists who willdiscover charming and rewarding music of medium difficulty (5 of 9).

English Only. Translated by Farguhart. Bedrich Smetana's The Bartered Bride dates from the happiest most musically fulfilling period in the composer's life and draws inspiration from Czech folk music. The action takes place to the backdrop of a visiting circus. Marenka and Jenik’s love for each other seems doomed as Marenka's father has brokered her in marriage to Vasek. Marenka meets Vasek – who doesn't realize who she is – and dissuades him from the marriage; meanwhile the marriage broker Kecal persuades Jenik to accept marriage to a wealthy girl; he agrees on condition that Marenka marry the son of Tobias Micha. Vasek forsakes the arranged marriage in pursuit of a circus dancer; Marenka remains scornful ofJenik's seeming betrayal. Jenik's plan becomes clear in the final scene when he is revealed to be Micha's long-lost elder son. All of the mismatched couples are sorted out and a family restored in a joyous finale. This is the Schirmer Edition of the Vocal Score with English text by Marian Farquhar.

Johann Pachelbel born in Nuremberg in 1653 a generation before Bach is one of Southern Germany’s most important post-Reformation organ composers. His compositions were already widely known at the time. The most popular work today is probably the canon with ensuing gigue in D major. The canon – according to the source “a 3 Violinis con Basso c.” – is built up over an ostinato bass whose two bar figure is repeated a total of 28 times. The following short gigue is also in a strict contrapuntal style. It is not known when the work was composed. As with most of his other chamber music works Pachelbel might have composed it during his time in Thuringia between 1677 and 1695.This pleasing work is also popular with amateur ensembles.?

One Piano Four Hands. Gazebo Dances was originally written as a set of four-hand pieces dedicated to certain of my pianist friends. I later arranged the suite for orchestra and for concert band and it is from the latter version that the title is drawn. The title Gazebo Dances was suggested by the pavilions often seen on village greens in town throughout the countryside where public band concerts are givenon summer evenings. The delights of that sort of entertainment are portrayed in this set of dances which begins with a Rossini-like Overture followed by a rather peg-legged Waltz a long-lined Adagio and finally a Tarantella.
