Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 's (1756-1791) Flute Concerto in G was written by the composer in 1778. The Concerto remains widely studied and performed on the Flute making it one of the most important Concerti in the instrument's repertoire. Concerto in G is in three movements; 1. Allegro maestoso 2. Adagio ma non troppo and 3. Rondo: Tempo di Menuetto. The first and last movements are in the tonic key whilst the second movement is in the subdominant key of D major. A Dutch flautist of the time Ferdinand de Jean commissioned Mozart for four Flute quartets and three Flute concerti. However thecomposer who famously disliked the Flute only completed three quartets and two concertos. Instead of composing a second concerto Mozart rearranged his Oboe Concerto with substantial changes for it to fit with the Flute. This edition of Mozart 's Concerto in G includes cadences by virtuosos Taffanel Gaubert and Bozza making for an unmissable version of the famed work.

kleine Stücke für Klavier- This cycle of Piano pieces occupies an exceptional position among the other compositions from Bohuslav Martinu's early period. In view of the musical and aesthetic challenges this work presents the cycle Puppets goes beyond the other pieces from this period which broadly speaking are didactic in nature and designed for the purposes of study. Martinu wrote the cycle between the years 1912-1925 and during this time he reworked and changed the pieces to the extent that Puppets I chronologically comes after Puppets III which is the earliest in the series. The third book (Puppets I) dates from 1925 and contains fiveshort pieces: Columbine Dances The New Puppet The Shy Doll Fairy Tale and finally The Puppets' Dance. Puppets I-III are a joy to play while providing a worthwhile source of study material and are an essential part of the repertoire of young pianists. All three books are published in new revised urtext editions edited by Ales Brezina. Pohadka is included on ABRSM Piano Grade 6 syllabus 2017-2018

Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937) was a French composer conductor and organist. Despite being predominantly remembered as a conductor his Solo De Concert remains a recognised piece in the Bassoon repertoire. Pierné studied at the Paris Conservatoire before taking up the position of chief conductor for the concert series Concerts Colonne in 1910. He remained in the post until 1933 and during this time he notably conducted the world premiere of Igor Stravinsky 's The Firebird . Pierné composed for a variety of instruments Concert Solo for Bassoon being one offour solo works by the composer. This Pierné piece for Bassoon contains many characteristics typical of the French style such as significant tempo changes and performance directions flourishes of semiquavers chromaticism and many alterations in dynamics. Concert Solo is a varied piece essential to the repertoire of aspiring bassoonists.

Klezmer music originated in the ‘shtetl’ (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe where itinerant Jewish troubadours known as ‘klezmorim’ had performed at celebrations particularly weddings since the early Middle Ages. Since the 16th century lyrics had been added to klezmer music due to the ‘badkhn’ (the master of ceremony at weddings) to the ‘Purimshpil’ (the play of Esther at Purim) and to traditions of the Yiddish theatre but the term gradually became synonymous with instrumental music particularly featuring the violin and clarinet. In recent years it has again become very popular and in A Klezmer Karnival Philip Sparke has used three contrasting traditionaltunes to form a suite that will bring a true karnival atmosphere to any concert.

The lyrics tell of the geography people and traditions of this charming and historic town which is situated in the north of Switzerland near to the German border about halfway between Basel and Zurich.Each variation is based on tiny extracts of the theme the whole piece therefore resembling the effect of a kaleidoscope which juxtaposes small fragments of colour in a constantly changing pattern.

Rheinfelden Sketches-In each of the four movements of this major work for concert band the composer has tried to capture in music something of the spirit of this beautiful Swiss town of Rheinfelden which lies on the banks of the Rhein. The opening movement Promenade sees woodwind and brass alternating short melodic fragments leading to a noble melody from the horns. The dreamy Ballad features a saxophone solo and chorale-like melody. This leads via a four bar Interlude to the Scherzo which takes the form of a moto perpetuo.

Citroner Til Vorherre af Jorgen Lauritsen. Ti motetter til tekster af Simon Grotrian for blandet kor SATB a cappella. Fra forordet: Simon Grotrian udgav i 2008 denne samling bonner pa Borgens forlag og jeg faldt straks for teksternes helt saerlige karakter. Simon kan noget unikt med ord. Jeg laeser en strofe og straks falder jeg i tanker - glemmer oplever laeser linien igen og gar lidt videre for at se hvordan teksten nu kan forfore min oplevelse. Simon gav mig eneretten til at komponere musik til denne digtsamling pa den betingelse at jeg ikkema 'rykke et komma'. Det har jeg overholdt idet Simon har givet mig lov til at gentage linier nar jeg foler for det. Motetterne er komponeret i arene 2008 til 2015. Der har vaeret lange pauser i arbejdet jeg har vendt og drejet teksterne og tonerne. Mens livet er passeret forbi. Ud af alle disse tanker tvivl laesning og lytning er der nu kommet ti motetter. For mig er dette vaerk et fredfyldt sted til eftertanke og bon. Det vil glaede mig hvis musikken bruges - som samlet vaerk eller enkeltvis til koncerter eller gudstjeneste. Det er vigtigt at tekst og musik synges mundret med de betoninger der er naturlige. Sadan forstar jeg budskabet bedst. Derfor de mange skiftende taktarter og den enkle melodik. Med onsket om at dirigenter sangere og publikum far gode oplevelser med Simons tekst og min musik. Jorgen Lauritsen (2015)

To this day Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments despite being a violinist himself. His Fantaisie for Bassoon and Piano is no exception to the composer's success. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire Bozza won prizes for Violin conducting and composition as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes whilst remaining a prominent composer. Composed in 1945 Bozza 's Fantaisie for Bassoon and Piano is a virtuosicwork addressing advanced features including complex rhythms chromaticism a wide range and articulation. As music educationalist Paul Griffiths has written of Bozza 's compositions 'his works reveal melodic fluency elegance of structure and a consistently sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities.'
