Das ist ein Kinderspiel! (Mesefilmek zeneiböl) : (Mesefilmek zenéiböl)

'...I recommend the arrangements of popular songs in this volume to every child who is learning to play the piano or has some kind of keyboard instrument at home, and is able to read music. The top two parts in each set of three staves in the score are played on the piano, while the top and bottom parts can be played on any synthesizer...' (Béla Zsoldos)

Az otthon éjjel : Text by Orsolya Karafiáth

Máté Bella's choral work for children Home at Night was commissioned by the town of Debrecen for the 26th Béla Bartók International Choir Competition in 2014. Its text is the first poem with the subtitle Spiders of the cycle with the same title written by Orsolya Karafiáth. The piece effectively represents the dreamworld of the poem with its strange and sinister atmosphere, which in the end is dispersed by awakening.

Gedenkblätter - Miniaturen

This selection is intended to reveal a less-known aspect of the genius of Franz Liszt, the greatest pianist of the 19th century: as a master of piano miniatures. While his large-scale works written over many years show Liszt as a striving composer for whom the creative process was difficult, at the same time, hidden in the shadow of the monumental peaks, the 'moments musicaux' tend to capture him in the process of improvisation, at the moment when a compositional idea flashed into his mind and was first noted down. The miniatures that feature in our selection trace his creative path through six decades (1827-1885), from his youthful testing of his wings right up to his finalfarewell. The manuscript of any piece that did not later become part of a cycle or the starting-point for a larger-scale composition generally remained in the mists of obscurity as a treasured memento preserved by one of his pupils or admirers.

50 CSaRDaS Für eine Singstimme (Violine) mit Kla : Für eine Singstimme (Violine) mit Klavierbegleitung

'The arrangements included in the present volume reflect the first musical impressions of my childhood. In their harmonisations reminiscences of some turns heard at my parent's home can be detected sporadically... The piano writing is dance-like throughout but tries to make the musical material as varied as possible. It attempts to reproduce the typical playing of the gypsy orchestra, shaping it into a little character piece in some places.' (Ferenc Farkas)

Easy Duos For Two Violins : Leichte Duos für zwei Violinen

Composer and violinist János Lavotta (1764-1820), as a member - together with János Bihari and Antal Csermák - of the ''virtuoso trio'' who played a great role in the history of Hungarian music, was one of the pioneers of verbunkos music. Although his violin duos op. 49 must have also been used for playing music at home, they show the composer's clear educational intent, since the fourteen consecutive pieces represent a gradually increasing difficulty in both technical and musical respects.

Novellette No. 8 For Flute : Epigraph for Flute - Birdsong at Sunset for Piccolo

12 Sonaten : für Blockflöte (oder Querflöte) und Basso continuo

The English flute virtuoso and composer Robert Valentine (c. 1680-c. 1735) lived in Rome, where also his major works appeared, and returned home only in 1731. His sonatas, among others the 12 sonatas published in this volume, were originally written for recorder. In the present-day practice they can be performed either on recorder or on flute.

Chamber Music for Violoncellos 17 : for 4 violoncellos

The latest volume in this popular series expands the repertoire of intermediate violoncello pupils with some unusual transcriptions. This time the editor, Árpád Pejtsik, has arranged Ave Maria settings (one song and three choral works) for four cellos. The first is a classical music hit, Schubert’s Ave Maria. Next is the transcription of a little-known piece from Liszt’s vast output, an item from his 1879 choral work Rosario, followed by an arrangement of the first of Verdi’s Quattro pezzi sacri, famous for being based on an ''enigmatic scale'' (scala enigmatica). The volume concludes with another evergreen, the Ave Maria from Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil. Rather than testing the players’ virtuosity, these slow-moving, contemplative pieces serve more to improve intonation skills as well as a sense of form and proportion. The editor has added suggested fingerings and bowings in order to help with the music's appropriate interpretation.

Nagyváros

In 1964, Emil Petrovics (1930-2011) arranged two verses for mixed choir from Sándor Weöres's early rhythm exercises, Himfy Stanzas. Like a choral rhapsody, this two-movement work, Metropolis, juxtaposes the idyll of the night and the hustle and bustle of early morning workers. The title Metropolis appears first as a counterpoint to the peace of the countryside, then as a home for work, factories, and a vibrant affirmation of life. Both movements share the effective use of the mixed choir as well as the prominent use of imitation and dynamic increases built up through repetition. Larger choirs will indeed find a demanding and rewarding piece of repertoire in this work byPetrovics.

Zwei Sonatinen

Ferenc Farkas (1905-2000) wrote his two sonatinas in 1930-31 for two outstanding violinists of his generation: György Hannover, who died young, and Ede Zathureczky, who was to have a bright career. The composer, who was studying in Rome at the master class of Ottorino Respighi at that time, fills the easy-to-understand works with neoclassical themes, sometimes showing the characteristics of Hungarian folk music. At the same time, he provides performers with the opportunity to display their expressiveness and virtuosity.
