The work, originally titled Berchtolsgader-Musik, goes back to the Cassatio ex G by Leopold Mozart, whose movements 3, 4 and 7 are identical to the Kinder-Symphonie [Children's Symphony]. For a long time, the authorship of the work was uncertain. It was attributed to Joseph Haydn and his brother Michael, at times also to Edmund Angerer and Leopold Mozart's pupil Johann Rainprechter. The work probably first received the designation Kinder-Symphonie in 1813 through an edition by the music publisher Hofmeister.In the Children's Symphony, a cuckoo, a quail and other unusual instruments are used in addition to the usual orchestral scoring. These belong to the Berchtesgaden instruments: flutes, whistles and rattles carved from wood, manufactured in the Berchtesgaden region and widely used as children's toys throughout the country. Today, these instruments can also be replaced by flutes, whistles as well as ratchets, rattles or bell trees.

The piano versions of the Children's Symphony have been part of Breitkopf's orchestral materials for over a hundred years now. They are not merely piano parts, however, but full-blooded reductions for piano twohands or four-hands.

Children�??s Oak was commissioned by the wind band from Beauquesne, France. This solemn work pays homage to a city particularly affected by the two World Wars and is inspired by the knowledge that the city of Beauquesne needed to recover from these terrible episodes in its history. The title has its origin in the roots of the word �??Beauquesne�?�, the beautiful oak tree. It is a beautiful slow piece for your concert, or as a resource to work on phrasing and intonation, or alternatively as a warm up piece.

Children�??s Oak is geschreven in opdracht van het blaasorkest van het Franse Beauquesne. Dit plechtige werk is een eerbetoon aan een plaats die in de beide wereldoorlogen zwaar is getroffen. Het is ge nspireerd op de gedachte dat de gemeente Beauquesne zich moest herstellen na deze verschrikkelijke periodes uit haar geschiedenis. De titel is gebaseerd op het woord �??beauquesne�??: de mooie eikenboom. Het is een fraai langzaam stuk voor uw volgende concert dat tevens geschikt is om te werken aan frasering en intonatie. Ook is het prima muziek voor een warming-up.

Das Stück Children�??s Oak wurde vom Blasorchester in Beauquesne (Frankreich) in Auftrag gegeben. Dieses feierliche Werk würdigt eine Stadt, die in den beiden Weltkriegen stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurde. Geprägt von der Hoffnung, die die Stadt Beauquesne brauchte, um sich von den schrecklichen Ereignissen seiner Geschichte zu erholen handelt es sich um ein wunderschönes langsames Stück, das nicht nur für Konzerte geeignet ist, sondern auch um Intonation und Phrasierungen zu üben oder aber auch als Aufwärmstück.

Children�??s Oak fut commandé par l�??Orchestre d�??Harmonie de Beauquesne, France. Ce morceau solennel rend hommage une ville particulièrement touchée par les deux guerres mondiales et s�??inspire de l�??espoir dont a eu besoin la ville de Beauquesne pour se relever des moments terribles de son histoire. L�??�?uvre tire son titre de l�??origine du mot « Beauquesne », le beau chêne. Un magnifique morceau lent pour votre concert, ou comme ressource pour travailler sur les phrasés et l�??intonation, ou sinon comme pièce d�??échauffement.
