'Klassik für Kinder' wants to introduce clarinet pupils to the beauty of Baroque, Classical and Romantic concert literature. Cautiously, not only original clarinet literature was taken up, but catchy tunes and themes from the opera (The Freeshooter, The Magic Flute and others) and the concert hall (Four Seasons, Capriccio Italy, Reverie and others) were used as well. The edition starts with a piece from the Renaissance period, followed by the great composers of the Baroque, European Classical and Romantic eras and completed by several discoveries off the common concert programmes (Blasius, Reinagel, Sullivan). Four centuries of music history which will make the pupils enjoy classical music. The pieces are presented in easy arrangements and can be mastered after about two years of tuition, with the three-line octave being left out. Contenu - V.

French composer conductor and teacher Jules Semler-Collery (1902-1988) was born to a musical father. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire where he won many prizes. Semler-Collery's works have been successful with many of his concertos being included in the Conservatoire's list of compulsory works. Rêverie Et Scherzo for Clarinet and Piano is no exception to the composer's success. Published in 1950 Semler-Collery's Rêverie is marked Andantino Cantabile and is in 6/8 meter. Both the Clarinet solo line and Piano accompaniment are virtousic exploiting rhythm tonality andharmony. A cadenza-like passage is heard towards the end. The Scherzo is marked Molta Leggiero and is staccato in 3/4 meter. Quaver and semiquaver passages are heard with the speed accelerating to a dramatic finale. For all advanced clarinetists Semler-Collery's Rêverie Et Scherzo provides an exciting performance work for performers and audiences alike.

Dedicated to Ulysse Delécluse  Variations Sur Un Air Du Pays d'Oc by Louis Cahuzac is a piece for Clarinet and Piano that refers to an area of the south of France. This set contains four variations on Se Canto a song from the valley of the Garonne and was composed for upper-intermediate / advanced players. Rhythms chromaticisms trills and other technical aspects make this piece very challenging. Its four variations are: 1. Allegretto vivo e leggerio 2. Alla polacca 3. Andante and 4. Moderato. Highly melodic this piece would work exceptionally well for a recital. Louis Cahuzac was oneof the very few clarinettists of the beginning of the 20th century who managed to make a career as a soloist.
