| Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus | | Sonata for Piano in A major K. 331 (300i) with the Rondo "Alla Turca" | BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Aschauer, Mario | | BA 11816 | EUR 9.95 | 9790006574483 | Special introductory price valid until 4 October 2021
(Price from 5 October 2021 onwards: EUR 12.95) | Published in 1784, Mozart's Sonata in A major "for clavier solo", with its famous "Alla Turca" finale, is one of the most popular works in the entire piano literature. After a section of the lost autograph was rediscovered a few years ago, another important source has surfaced with the appearance of a previously unknown contemporary copy of the complete autograph, which has prompted Barenreiter to update their previous Urtext edition of this celebrated piece.
The copy by a professional Viennese copyist throws new light on the problem of the numerous discrepancies between autographs and first editions of many Mozart sonatas. It supports the assumption that the revision of the text for the first edition resulted from the change of target group from Mozart's inner circle to an audience of connoisseurs and amateurs, but that this did not render the original (autograph) text obsolete; rather, both versions of the sonata represent historical realities. To achieve a truly faithful scholarly-critical performance edition of Mozart's sonata, the editor, Mario Aschauer, has set new editorial standards and offers the most innovative methodological approach of our time by presenting the musical text of the autograph and the original print separately without merging the sources editorially to a new text. On the basis of the newly discovered source, it is possible for the first time to reconstruct the autograph transmission of this famous sonata and offer it to the performer as a self-contained playable version.
The Foreword allows surprising new insights into the form and source situation of the sonata (Ger/Eng). The edition is supplemented by a chapter on performance practice providing in-depth information on piano playing in Mozart's time (Ger/Eng). Variants and editorial decisions are documented in the Critical Commentary. | | |

| | First Urtext edition
Based on The Bohuslav Martinu Complete Edition IV/4/1 (Chamber Music for 6-9 Instruments I)
Preface of the editor Jitka Zichova (Cz/Eng/Ger) |

| Martinu, Bohuslav | | Serenade No. 1 H 217 | BARENREITER URTEXT
Editor: Zichova, Jitka | | BA 11541 | EUR 12.95 | Set of parts | 9790260109254 | TP 441 | EUR 10.95 | Study score | 9790260109247
Unusual instrumentations were by no means the exception in the chamber music of Bohuslav Martinu, most notably the works he wrote in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s being characterised by his experimentation with sound and form. It is from this period that four short serenades originate, of which the Serenade No. 1 was composed in 1932. The serenades were published by the Prague publishing house of Melantrich in 1949.
Although the study score of the Serenade No. 1 was published while the composer was still alive, he was in fact not involved in preparing this edition; indeed, the performance material also appeared in print without his participation in 1954. It was therefore decided to use the autograph score as the principal source for this edition. | | | | |

| Chmura, Tomas | | In a Dancing Mood for the Beginner on the Drum Kit | |
| H 8053 | EUR 7.50 | Performance score | 9790260109292 | This album for children (and teenagers) is intended for beginners on the drum kit, the most popular form of percussion. The composer has deliberately avoided advanced playing techniques (e.g. drum roll or double strokes). A choice of tempos enables students to adjust the difficulty of the piece according to their ability. As the title of the album suggests, the students are supposed to interpret the pieces in different dance styles (tango, polka, waltz, cha-cha).
As an experienced and respected teacher, Tomas Chmura uses the "play-along" method of teaching: recordings make it easier for beginner drummers to read the notation, get a sense of the composition as a whole and facilitate practising.
Mp3 recordings of all the pieces are available on our website in two versions - for piano with drum kit or piano solo. The latter recording can also be used in concert performances, should a pianist not be available. | | |

| Chmura, Tomas | | The Wilderness for the Beginner on Orchestral Percussion | |
| H 8052 | EUR 7.50 | Performance score | 9790260109285 | This album for children (and teenagers) is intended for beginners encountering the diverse range of orchestral percussion instruments for the first time. Short compositions have been included only for those orchestral instruments that are most likely to be found in a music school (e.g. triangle, light cymbal). The large orchestral drum can easily be replaced by the large drum of a drum kit or a large tom-tom. The pieces have titles that motivate the students (e.g. "The Snake" or "The Elephant") and a choice of tempos enables them to adjust the pieces according to their ability.
