These well-loved tunes have been around for a long time. Perhaps the oldest is Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen, a Negro spiritual that may have been written by slaves. Others come from the latter half of the 19th century and from the turn-of-the-century era that produced the precursors of jazz. The unifying factor in selecting these particular tunes, apart from the fact that every American seems to know them, is that they have been constantly recreated by jazz performers, from the birth of jazz to the present day. There is an immediate link from the improvisor to the mood, structure, or chord structure (sometimes all three!) of these tunes that allows for a free-flowing personal variation on these timeless themes.

Schocker’ s flute duets often are inspired by nature, and the composer’s love of gardening is reflected in a number of his works. LITTLE HELPERS refers to “nature’s little helpers,” those insects who help the plant kingdom thrive. The four movements of this 7-minute piece are titled Earthworms, Cicada Wasps, Cocooned, and Stingers.

The easy violin duos by Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged by Gustav Lenzewski, have always been very popular. Wolfgang Birtel has re-edited the collection, adopting the entire arrangement except for a few movements and adding further well-known pieces by Bach. The level of difficulty ranges from very easy to advanced. The original fingering and bowing have all been maintained; numerous articulation marks, however, have been deleted as they do no longer correspond to the modern way of playing Baroque music. The ideal edition for music lessons or music-making at home.
