Cyril Scott’s music is currently the subject of major revival, having lain largely ignored for much of the 20th Century. Once described as 'the father of modern British music' by Eugene Goossens, and admired by Claude Debussy, Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinsky and his lifelong friend Percy Grainger, he composed four hundred works including: four Symphonies, three Operas, two Piano Concertos, four Oratorios, Concertos for Violin, Cello, Oboe and Harpsichord, several Overtures, Tone Poems, many Chamber works and innumerable songs.There is a story that when Bernard Shaw commented to Elgar on the (then) daring harmonies of his Second Symphony Elgar replied 'You mustn’t forget, it was Cyril Scott started all that!'.'a pioneer of British piano music, producing more piano works in the period 1903-1914 than any other British composer and any other international one, with the exception of Scriabin... (He) was a key figure before World War I in helping Britain to break away from musical conservatism and the prevailing Germanic influences.' (Lisa Hardy, The British Piano Sonata 1870-1945).

Diese Sammlung schliesst sich in planmassigem Fortschreiten dem ersten Teil der Zuschneid Klavierschule (ED 4680) an und enthalt den zur Erganzung des zweiten Teils (ED 4681) notwendigen Unterrichtsstoff aus der bewahrten Literatur. Vieles in ahnlichen Sammlungen enthaltene Material hat der Herausgeber als veraltet und uberflussig beiseite gelassen. Dagegen ist er bemuht gewesen, durch eine reichliche Auswahl anregender und gleichwohl instruktiver moderner Vortragsstucke den Wert der Sammlung wesentlich zu erhohen.

The suite, composed in the modern classical style, was written in honour of the anniversary of the founding of a school. The dissonances, held up against the backdrop of humorous expression, are easily understood. The Etude combines pleasureable elements of concerto style with impressionistic colourfulness. The impressionist idiom can also be heard in the Prologue, standing in contrast here to recitative sections. Advanced pupils and students will come to terms with the technical difficulties, professional pianists will enjoy the specifically pianistic aspects of this work.

“These real masterpieces, even if only a few minutes long, are of tremendous melodiousness and expressiveness!”, Franz Schubert said about Friedrich Kuhlau's sonatinas.The four Sonatinas Op. 88 were written in 1827, i.e. during Friedrich Kuhlau's middle creative period, even before the great success of the opera “Elfenhügel.” and the year of Beethoven's death. All four works contain beautiful melodic ideas, but Sonatina Op. 88 No. 3 with its minor tonality, its free treatment of form and tempo in the first movement and the lively last movement is something special. Of medium difficulty, this sonatina is great fun to play.This edition is accompanied by a preface and “Teaching Notes” by Monika Twelsiek. It is part of the new Schott Student Edition series which offers varied literature at five different levels of difficulty, from 1 (easy) to 5 (difficult), for instrumental lessons. For further information on this series, see www.schott-student-edition.com.

These miniatures are aimed at young advanced piano lovers - not only with regard to playing technique, but also to their handling ofmodern harmonies and tonal gestures. An important point of reference for ear and hands clearly is Claude Debussy's piano oeuvre, particularly his Preludes, Etudes and Childrens Corner. Debussy and York Holler's composition even share a modern musical poetry which does not require an extramusical programme. The five pieces are suitable for being performed separately or as many-faceted cycle.
