“G.F.Handel's (1685-1759) Water Music is one of the most famous suites ever to be written. Therefore, when brass arranger, Robert King (1914-1999) arranged three movements of the popular piece for the brass choir or brass sextet, it was very well-received. The Water Music premiered in 1717 and was originally composed for orchestra. The three movements arranged for brass are the two famous Allegros, and the well-known Andante. King's transcriptions ensure that the brass parts contain the articulation, phrasing and breath marks necessary to the instrument. For all classical brass ensembles, this King arrangement of the popular Water Music is essential.”.

Whoever pursues piano playing as a hobby mostly focusses on two things: playing from music, with as wide a range of works from classical, pop and jazz music as possible, and playing without the book, i.e. the ability to accompany melodies with chords, play songs by ear and improvise freely. In this volume, both topics are dealt with thoroughly and systematically. Whereas most piano methods prefer either classical or popular music, both kinds of music are well-balanced herein.Clearly structured chapters cover a variety of interesting topics: the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras, popular piano styles (e.g. ragtime, boogie, rock 'n' roll, pop ballad), the blues and the genres of opera, operetta and ballet.

Following the Renaissance volume, this time it is Baroque works (more precisely, transcriptions of Baroque vocal and instrumental works) that are presented in the Leggierissimo series, extending the repertoire of junior string orchestras. Roughly half of the selection consists of well-known pieces by the greatest composers of the period (Purcell: Dido and Aeneas, Rameau: Pi ces de clavecin, Händel: Water Music, Music for the Royal Fireworks, J.S. Bach: B major partita, C major orchestral suite), but works by composers less well known nowadays (for example, G. Böhm and J. C. F. Fischer) are also included, together with such unusual items as Polish, German and Hungarian dancesfrom 17th- and 18th-century Hungarian manuscripts: the Kájoni and Vietórisz codexes, and Eleonóra Lányi s music book. Nach dem Renaissance-Band erscheint die Leggierissimo-Serie nunmehr mit Barockwerken (genauer: mit Transkriptionen nach vokalen und instrumentalen Barockwerken), die das Repertoire der Kinderstreichorchestern erweitert. Etwa die Hälfte der Sammlung machen die Stücke der allgemein bekannten Werke der größten Komponisten der Epoche (H. Purcell: Dido und Aeneas, J. Ph. Rameau: Pi ces de clavecin, G. F. Händel: Wassermusik, Feuerwerksmusik, J. S. Bach: Partita B-Dur, Ouverture C-Dur) aus. Es kommen in ihr aber auch Stücke von heute weniger bekannten Komponisten (G. Böhm, J. C. F. Fischer u.a.), daneben als Besonderheit polnische, deutsche und ungarische Tänze aus dem 17. und 18.Jahrhundert aus dem Kájoni- und Vietórisz-Kodizes und aus dem Notenbuch der Eleonora Lányi vor.
