From his experience as a conductor and adjudicator Bert Appermont knows that bands often experience the same problems: lack of sound control intonation difficulties uncontrolled articulation and insufficient phrasing. Practising these aspects is very demanding and there is little material available that is also enjoyable to play. Four Original Warm-Ups consists of four fun warm-up pieces. Each piece focuses on one of the problems without the music being dull. The four pieces work equally well when played together or as individual items either at rehearsals or in a concert.

Despite being predominantly remembered as a conductor his Canzonetta arranged for Flute and Piano by André Petiot remains a recognised piece in the 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. Canzonetta originally composer for Clarinet with Piano accompaniment is one of four solo works by the composer. This Pierné piece arranged for Flute contains many characteristics typical of the French style such as lyrical melodies a significant number of performance directions flourishes of semiquavers chromaticism and many changes in dynamics.

Dubois' work is suitable for advanced performers addressing virtuosic features such as complex rhythms constantchanges of time signature chromaticism and exploitation of the ensemble amongst other aspects. Circus Parade Duo is essential to the advanced Alto Saxophone Clarinet and Percussion repertoire as Dubois' work makes for an exciting varied and enjoyable performance for players and audiences alike.

Bartók wrote his Piano Concerto No. 3 during the summer of 1945 intending it as a birthday present to be given to his wife Ditta on 31st October. By this time he was already gravely ill; however he was able to finish the score with the exception of the last seventeen bars which he noted in a kind of musical shorthand. These last seventeen bars were deciphered and scored by his friend and pupil Tibor Serly. Only a few expression marks and tempo indications and no metronome marks were found in Bartók's score. Had he lived on there is no doubt that he would have edited the concerto as meticulously as was his habit.In order to give a complete picture of the work suchmarkings as were deemed necessary were added by Tibor Serly; by Eugene Ormandy who conducted the first performance; by Louis Kentner; and by Erwin Stein.In preparing this Revised Edition all extant sources have been examined and compared with the previously printed edition. For full discussion of the amendments reference should be made to the Editorial Notes to the Revised Edition of the published conductor's score.

These were then deciphered and scored by his friend and pupil Tibor Serly.
