Introducing his new player-friendly edition of the Haydn Quartets Simon Rowland-Jones writes: 'There can be no such thing as a final perfect version; Haydn left too many questions open.' The new Peters Edition is founded upon this honest assessment. By heightening our awareness of the questions that remain 'open' this edition liberates the interpretative inspiration of performers as never before. As a result the new edition is likely to become indispensable for all who perform or study these masterpieces. Each volume includes: Full Score - included with the parts for the first time - invaluable for performance preparation Fold-out Pages - as required in the separate parts eliminating all page-turns within movements Guidance for Performers - as well as giving historical background to the quartets the prefaces to each volume contain a treasure trove of information about all aspects of performance practice Critical Commentary - in the extensive Critical Commentary to each volume the most authoritative early sources for Haydn's quartets are carefully evaluated and full details of their variant readings given for comparison. Naturally the composer's autograph where extant assumes pre-eminence but alternative primary sources are also considered and secondary sources drawn upon where appropriate.

Volume 4: Christian Life and Conduct-The Orgelbüchlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach’s unfinished manuscript known as ‘Orgelbüchlein’. In the ‘Little Organ Book’ Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale 164 in all but only completed 46 of them. Why the remaining 118 were left as blank pages with only a title at the head remains a mystery but they inspired organists William Whitehead to found the Orgelbüchlein Project in which contemporary composers are invited to contribute a piece to completing the collection. The resulting collection to be published in eight volumes represents a cross-section of the most interesting composers at work today acrossEurope. More information about the project is available at www.orgelbuechlein.com.

The Only was written as a conscious departure from intricate polyphonic part-writing by a composer to whose thinking counterpoint is usually more central. This piece seeks to emulate the kind of easy lyricism which is such a fingerprint of JohnRutters music while preserving a slightly more austere even archaic harmonic language. The rhythmic patterning of the accompanying piano part suggests a more popular idiom and makes the carol suitable for use outside the confines of a churchservice.

A Progressive Introduction to Popular Styles for Piano)- Crossing Borders is a new progressive series of volumes designed to introduce the developing pianist to a broad range of popular music including jazz blues rock and pop.

Tempo indications are for guidance only and need not be taken too literally. This is the third book for Piano Duet and includes fourteen delightful and fun duets composed by Remo Vinciguerra.
