score and parts 1. Palestrina, Giovanni Pierluigi da: Ricercare (Ricercari a quattro voci, No. 8) 2. Händel, Georg Friedrich: Bourrée (Rodrigo, HWV 5) 3. Beethoven, Ludwig van: Menuett (Sechs Menuette, WoO 10, No. 6) 4. Chopin, Frédéric: Mazurka (Op. 68, No. 3) 5. Schumann, Robert: Dreaming (Kinderszenen, Op. 15, Nr.7) 6. Rimsky-Korsakov, Nicolai: Fuga doppia (B-A-C-H) 7. Joplin, Scott: Pleasant moments 8. Strauss, Johann jun.: Anne's Polka (Op. 117) The volumes in this new series contain duos, trios and quartets, their degree of difficulty ranging from easy through intermediate to advanced. Every piece is a transcription or an arrangement, since in editing the volumes our primary concern was to provide a collection of valuable and interesting compositions, as freely variable as possible as regards instrumentation, for music school students and also for adults who make music for their own pleasure. The range and pitch of the parts enable the works to be performed on any required or possible combination of the given instruments. The volume for advanced music students offers real treats (Chopin's Mazurka, Schumann's Träumerei). The technical and musical difficulties do not exceed the level of a well-trained and experienced amateur musician, and the luxurious possibilities of variations in the arrangements for four parts for the various instrument families (strings, wind, percussion) offer collective music making for homogeneous or mixed ensembles. Special features are Anna's Polka by Johann Strauss Jr. and Joplin's Ragtime, which enrich the repertoire of chamber music with new colour.

String Quartet No. 3 is in one continuous movement and represents some harmonic and structural experimentation by the composer. The work plays out a bit like a tone poem for string quartet. Mason says This work blends tonal, polytonal and atonal material. My goal was to create new sounds but with a driving suspense and energy from the very first chords to the very end to take the listener on a kind of cosmic tour to different worlds of mystery, longing, warmth, and even triumph. This piece is suggested for advanced level players. YouTube link with the Lyris Quartet performing this work:: 2 vn, vla, vcl Duration: 14' Composed: 2021 Published by: Todd Mason.

Every piece is a transcription or an arrangement, since in editing the volumes our primary concern was to provide a collection of valuable and interesting compositions, as freely variable as possible as regards instrumentation, for music school students and also for adults who make music for their own pleasure. The range and pitch of the parts enable the works to be performed on any required or possible combination of the given instruments. Like the Easy quartets volume, this one too contains dance sequences consisting of severalmovements. Apart from such popular dance movements (two renaissance dances, three waltzes), this publication also provides users with more extensive character pieces at an intermediate level. In movements like, for example, Evening chimes, Hobgoblin, The shepherdess and the cuckoo and March, the original content provided by the editors together with the music helps players to find the appropriate character for the musical performance, and thus to bring the music closer to both the players and the audience. Die Bände der neuen Serie beinhalten leichte, mittelschwere oder fortgeschrittene Duos, Trios und Quartette. Bei der Zusammenstellung lag das Hauptaugenmerk auf der höchstmöglichen Freiheit in der Kombinierbarkeit der Instrumente sowie darauf, dass die Kompositionen für Musikschüler und Hobbymusiker musikalisch interessant und wertvoll sind. Aus diesem Grund handelt es sich bei allen Stücken um Transkriptionen. Lage und Tonumfang der Stimmen sind so gesetzt, dass sich die Werke allen denkbaren Umständen und Ansprüchen anpassen und entsprechend in jeder Kombination der angegebenen Musikinstrumente vorgetragen werden können.
