P�TER WOLF (1947) studied classical piano and jazz piano at the B�la Bart�k Secondary School under Korn�l Zempl�ni, Ferenc Rados and J�nos Gonda. In 2015 he obtained his DLA degree from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music with his thesis on jazz arrangements. In 1969 he became the keyboard-player of the band Ex Antiquis. He composed many hits of the 1970s and 1980s as well as scores for popular films and musicals. His virtuosity as an orchestrator was shown in concerts and albums of the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra; he also orchestrated violin pieces for Isaac Stern's ''Kreisler'' CD. In 1995 he was awarded the F�nyes Szabolcs Prize, in 2005 the Erkel Prize, and in 2018 Artisjus's Life Prize. In recent years he has had numerous large-scale compositions premiered by excellent performers: his two piano concertos and his concertos for oboe, clarinet, and violin respectively. About Inventions for Young Pianists, piano teacher Rita Znamen�k writes: ''This volume expressly aims at extending the repertoire of 3rd- and 4th-grade primary music students (and, of course, that of the older ones, too). Each of the 23 inventions expands and revolves around a musical idea. The short pieces inspire the children's imagination already with their titles. Teachers and student scan freely choose among pieces which require crossing hands, arpeggios, clusters, polyphony, syncopated rhythm, chromaticism, and pedalling. There are melodies with accompaniment, playing with alternate hands, playing legato and staccato, notes with appoggiaturas and acciaccaturas, jazz accents, and glissandi, too. The composer wrote unusual sound effects into a few pieces for the brave. It's my most sincere wish for young pianists that they find joy in studying Peter Wolf's works, and I encourage my colleagues to include pieces from this volume into their material: maybe students will also become more open to contemporary music through them.''.

Ideally, a piano pupil should learn the treble and bass clefs simultaneously, absorbing both without difficulty. There is, however, an increasing number of children and adults, including students at training colleges, who begin piano lessons with a working knowledge of the treble clef but who are entirely ignorant of the bass.Many have gained their knowledge of the treble, but not the bass clef, in good singing and aural training classes at school; others, and there are many of them, play the recorder, whilst violinists and players of various wind instruments are in the same position when they learn the piano for the first time.It frequently happens, too, that piano pupils, and not only young children, are prompted by musical curiosity to read enthusiastically anything written in the treble clef fluently, but the bass clef lags far behind.For all those people mentioned above, it is an urgent matter to learn the bass clef thoroughly and quickly, in as musical and interesting way as possible, and it is for them that this book is intended. A spell of concentrated work upon the bass clef alone can work wonders.[Maisie Aldridge].

1. Choral: An improbably superimposing of Beethoven and Brahms. At the end of the first performance of the latter's 1st Symphony, someone asked the composer: Don't you find that your main theme remin ds one of the Ode to Joy? To which he retorted: Even an idiot would have noticed it! 2. Fugue: in the last exposition, the subject of Fugue I from volume 1 of Bach's Well-Tempered Keyboard is super imposed on the theme from Mozart's so-called easy sonata. 3. Passion: In his Violin Concerto, Mendelssohn, to whom we owe the rediscovery of Bach's Passions, seems to have borrowed a theme from a lost Passion. 4. Recitativo: Tribute to Franck's tribute to Bach in his Sonata for violin and piano. 5. Invention: A private revenge, after a bitter failure. Debussy's Toccata was on the compulsory list for the Conservatory piano class entrance exam. 6. Arpeggione: In which the listener realizes the similarity in the introduction to Schubert's Unfinished Symphony and Arpeggione Sonata. 7. Sarabande: The most iconoclastic, for Bach's 5th Cello Suite is already suffused with harmony. There might be an evocatioin of a Brahms-like overarching structure, though... 8. Variation: The slowest variation ever written on Paganini's 24th Caprice. 9. Scene: Schumann's Reverie as a Prelude. 10. Finale: In order to capture the elusive harmony of the Finale of Chopin's Sonate Funebre. 11. Fugue on Au clair de la lune: Our greatest nursery rhymes, fugue fitted and choralized. 12. Fugue de Noel (Christmas fugue): Quite appropriate. 13. Fugue on J'ai du bon tabac: Prohibited counterpoint. 14. Fugue on La Marseillaise: Franco-German reconciliation. 15. Pedal - Exercitium: Realization and conclusion of Bach's organ pedal exercies.

Vocalise, for soprano (or tenor) voice with piano accompaniment, came into being in 1910 as the final piece in Rachmaninov's Op. 34 song series. Most of the songs were tailored to suit the personalities of various outstanding Russian singers (including Chaliapin), and dedicated to them. An interesting feature of Vocalise, which was written for the soprano Antonina Nezhdanova, is that, as its title indicates, the vocal solo has no text: the performer can sing it through on any one vowel of her choice. This song became one of the composer's most popular pieces, and countless arrangements have been made of it (for orchestra, for various chamber ensembles, for violin, for cello,for almost every kind of brass instrument, for clarinet, for guitar, for harmonica, even for cello orchestra!). One of the most successful transcriptions for solo piano, first published in 1981, is the work of the world-famous Hungarian concert pianist, conductor and composer, Zoltán Kocsis.

Angelita is a Tango dance for solo Piano by Angel Barrios , probably written at some point in the first decade of the 20th century. It smoothly blends Iberian melodies and enthusiasm with exotic late Romantic harmonies, creating an exciting and catchy work. Angel Barrios (1882-1964) was a Spanish composer and classical guitarist. Born in Granada, he studied in Madrid and Paris, initially learning the Violin before switching to Guitar, becoming a formidable concert performer. He wrote many works for opera, which were performed in both Madrid and Granada, as well as orchestral pieces, dances, and solo works for Piano and for Guitar.

The third piece from Liszt's Grandes Études de Paganini presents an especially formidable technical challenge to performers. Based on the finale movement of Paganini's Violin Concerto in B minor, La campanella was dedicated to Clara Schumann. Liszt first had the opportunity to witness the famous violin virtuoso's playing at a concert in Paris in 1832, and it inspired the young Liszt to obsessively pursue his own music through practice and intensive study of literature and arts. As a result, Liszt composed his six transcendent études that made up the piano cycle Études d'exécution transcendante d'aprés Paganini for a time, Liszt himself was the only one capable ofperforming them. In addition to the final version of the third étude, the present edition includes its earlier version in the appendix.This publication contains not only musical scores of excellent quality, but also a detailed foreword in English and German as well as critical notes in English.

Written for Flute or Violin accompanied by a Piano, Ballad is a piece by Albert Périlhou (1846-1936), dedicated to Paul Taffanel. This piece is one of the most famous by this author and could be chosen as a contest or a recitalwork. Composed in 1903, Ballad is a one-movement piece which begins with a slow part and alternates with an Allegro section. This latter is the section of the main theme which demonstrates the range of the flute with expressiveruns. The melody of the slow part keeps coming back along the piece, which finishes on it. The difficulty of this piece would suit upper-intermediate level players.
