Schott Piano Classics-Fast tempo is a fascinating phenomenon people are not immune to. The childish joy of fast movement of testing one's limits and possibilities as well as of playing with time nurtures our pleasure in fast tempos. In her most recent anthology in the Piano Classics series the successful piano educationalist Monika Twelsiek examines the phenomenon of fast tempo presenting 40 fast and wild rousing and virtuoso turbulent and bold dynamic and risky brilliant and splendid pieces through all epochs – from the Baroque to the modern era. The pieces not only hone the pianistic skills rather each piece is an individual work of art with high artistic demand. Challenging the tempo-lovingpianist the large number of etudes scherzos variations and very lively character pieces are a treasure trove for piano lessons.

Hans-Martin Linde (b. 1930) is not only one of the best-known recorder players of the twentieth Century but has enriched the contemporary recorder repertoire with significant works for concert performance and tuition purposes. The composition Reminiscences for Quartet for the unusual and delightful-sounding combination A[treble]/T/T/B uses musical themes from the 15th to 17th Centuries: from a “Prélude à l’imitation” by Froberger a melody by Claudio Saraceni “Da te parto” themes from keyboard sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti the Chanson “Adieu mes très belles” by Binchois and a ground bass from Purcell’s harpsichord collection “Musik’s Handmaid”. The composer writes: “Inmany of my compositions a meeting takes place between old and new. In this Suite too present events unfold against the background of the past. Models from early music are mirrored in the present.” Hans-Martin Linde (b. 1930) is not only one of the best-known recorder players of the twentieth Century but has enriched the contemporary recorder repertoire with significant works for concert performance and tuition purposes.
