This series of easy piano music for teaching purposes presents pupils in the lower and lower middle grades with a carefully chosen selection of well-known and lesser-known compositions by important masters. The volumes are deliberately kept small in extent, since it is more stimulating for children to change the teaching material frequently. Carl Maria von Weber (1786-1826) composed three series of piano duets: opus 3, opus 10 and opus 60. The piano pieces opus 3, which he wrote at the age of 15, are, despite the modest demands made on playing technique, among the most inventive and melodically sensitive works for four hands of the post-classical period. Together with the four pieces from opus 3, an andante from opus 10 has been included in this folio. These five pieces have been arranged in a sequence such that in their entirety, the result is a balanced suite - in a formal sense - for four hands. (The scherzo opus 3. No. 3 has therefore been transposed into C major.) Heinz Walter, Salzburg, Autumn 1979.

Jacqu es Offenbach was not only one of the most successful composers of his time, but also an incomparable virtuoso on the cello - his ravishing playing in the salons of Paris caused many a swoon among the (female) audience. Under the opus numbers 49 to 54, he also presented a cello method in the form of duets of progressive difficulty. Offenbach would not be himself if the work did not meet the very highest standards both from an educational and a musical-compositional point of view, with an always typical naturalness and originality of style. All six volumes are equally suitable as a method of cello technique, duet playing, for enjoyable music-making at home as well as forconcert performances. The new edition in the Offenbach Edition Keck OEK complements the modernly edited music material by adding online links to audios ofthe individual parts as well as the duets in harmony.
