Trumpet parts in both B flat and E flat simplified piano part and a free CD including piano backing tracks and orchestral performance extracts. Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) composed this concerto in 1803 for the keyed trumpet which had been developed by Anton Weidinger (1767-1852). Weidinger gave its first performance on New Year's Day 1804. Originally composed in the key of E it is more commonly played in Eb. The keyed trumpet was the first type of trumpet which could play chromatically but the invention was not a huge success: it suffered from a poor quality of sound. In the early 19th century the invention of the valve rendered the keyed trumpetobsolete. This edition is intended to be more user-friendly than the others currently available: there is a much easier (and dare I say more stylistic) piano accompaniment - any doubling of the solo part has been removed voicing simplified and my premise has been to imagine what it might have been before it was orchestrated rather than trying to cram in every last piece of orchestral detail. Suggested cuts in the piano part have been indicated giving a short introduction to each movement perfect for auditions recitals or exams. However the bar numbers still tally with the longer original versions which are included should they be required. The dynamics and articulation which I have added incorporate the weight of opinion in current editions and recordings offering more guidance than 'scholarly' editions without being overprescriptive. There is an appendix with suggested interpretation of trills and ornaments. Listening to as many different recordings as possible is the best way to assimilate good trills. The accompanying CD provides piano accompaniments and observes the suggested cuts. See page 38 for full track listing. There is free software available online (eg. speedshifter on the ABRSM website) which enables you to change the speed of a CD should you wish to practise slower or indeed faster. The Hummel

Here again is an assortment of tunes which I hope will give some pleasure to those who play them. Much of the work is written in traditional mode and should be treated as such. In other words whereas in classical pieces the player attempts to reproduce what the composer intended in traditional music it is up to the player to apply his/her own interpretation and personality to the work. If that interpretation happens to differ to what I intended it doesn't make it wrong it makes it personal to you and I have no doubt that in your hands at least it will come over better so feel free to change the odd note apply your own grace notes alter a chord here or there. Music is avery personal thing and traditional music perhaps even more so than other forms. Here again is an assortment of tunes which I hope will give some pleasure to those who play them.

With this Violin Sonatina I completed a project of writing a work for each of the string sections. Rather than the usual three it is in one continuous movement. The fast agitato middle section is preceded by a slow elegiac introduction which recurs at the end of the work. The painting on the front cover is 'Sunrise Lago di Trasimeno' by John Newberry.' - Bryan Kelly

The Essential Latin Collection for Guitar contains Latin songs and dances which in the main have become international 'standards'. During the 20th century much music from the Latin Americas was re-discovered and often re-produced with newly created titles and lyrics. The arrangements here are all based on the original traditional ideas and have become thereby new music for the guitar. The universal popularity of the pieces allows them to be played in almost any setting. They can serve for both study and solo performance and the different styles and moods of the music make the collection a valuable and enjoyable addition to the guitarrepertoire.
