Gabriel Fauré’s only string quartet which was composed in 1923-24 is the composer’s final work and was written at the suggestion of his publisher Jacques Durand. Until then, Fauré had always put off writing a string quartet, evidently because of Beethoven’s imposing shadow.
When Fauré composed the quartet he was already extremely ill. He added dynamics   and slurs only in some parts of the exposition of the first movement and then asked his former pupil Jean Roger-Ducasse to complete the work. Roger-Ducasse’s additions were however very extensive; he even altered and supplemented some of Fauré’s own markings in the exposition. Bärenreiter’s first ever scholarly critical edition of the quartet utilises all sources including the composer’s letters which provide valuable insights into the origins of the composition.
In particular, Fauré’s penultimate work, the Piano Trio op. 120, was used to guide the editor with his emendations.
– First scholarly-critical edition of this work
– High-quality Urtext edition based on “the Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré”
– Standard repertoire work for every string quartet
– Foreword (Eng/Fr/Ger)

Young cellists (and their teachers and parents) will have fun taking this musical promenade through the zoo. Animals from A to Z help young learners to master cello techniques and skills in a spirit of fun. Tiny ants form caravans with minuscule footsteps, a lion roars in two-part counterpoint, a seal frolics in a liquid 6/8, and two little donkeys draw attention with daring glissandos.
The colour illustrations by the well-known Polish artist Marcin Bruchnalski whet the curiosity for each piece and capture its character with a wink of the eye.
– Easy cello pieces with piano accompaniment
– Teaches technical skills in a spirit of fun
– Imaginative melodies
– Colourful illustrations

On the heels of his successful cello etude publications of Popper, Duport , Grützmacher and Lee, Martin Rummel has focused his pedagogical skills on the important op. 11 etudes by Josef Merk (1795–1852). Merk was one of the most influential cellists of the first half of the 19th century enjoying the admiration of Beethoven, Schubert and Chopin. The op. 11 etudes dedicated to Schubert have remained a classic of violoncello instruction through to today.
The editor Martin Rummel has based his new edition of the op. 11 etudes on the first edition published by the Viennese company Haslinger .
The editor has sparingly added fingerings, bow strokes and slurs indicating them editorially so players can immediately see the textural alterations.

CONTENTS
When the young Marlene Dietrich took violin lessons in Dessau from Friedrich Seitz (1848-1918), did she have this concerto in her repertoire? Whatever the case, her career, as we all know, took off on a different slant. But the Student Concerto in G major, op. 13, advanced to become one of the most popular and effective recital pieces for young violinists en route to the great concert stage.
Friedrich Seitz was a concertmaster and violin teacher, first in Magdeburg and later, from 1884, in Dessau. He published his op. 13 concerto in 1893. It is laid out in the conventional three movements: a charming Allegro non troppo poised between concert and salon music, a sentimental Adagio in a minor key, and a merry Rondo in 6/8 metre as a finale. Like almost every work by this passionate music educator, it stands in the facile e brillant tradition, achieving maximum impact with minimum technical demands while adopting the posture of a virtuoso concerto. A solid command of the first position is sufficient for its performance, with good left- and right-hand coordination required in the fast passages. The learner’s technical skills are honed on simple double stops and détaché, legato and elementary spiccato bowing. Typical formal sections, such as a cadenza in the opening movement, and lovely, memorable melodies, call for an imaginative delivery: students learn how much fun it can be to play ‘virtuoso’ music!
This edition appears in the Bärenreiter’s Concert Pieces series, which includes popular concertos and concert pieces for young violinists. The editor is the internationally acclaimed violin teacher Kurt Sassmannshaus, who has added fingering and bowing to the solo part and explains the technical requirements in a short preface.
– One of the most popular and effective student concertos of the 19th century
– Written entirely in first position
– Includes a solo part and a score with the piano accompaniment
– Short preface in German and English with information on technical requirements
