Johann Sebastian Bach probably composed the six trio sonatas BWV 525-530 ‘á 2 Claviers e Pedal’ between 1727 and 1729 for his eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann, although individual pieces date back to earlier years (1722-1723). These are undoubtedly organ sonatas, whose three independent voices combine to create an extremely charming musical work of art . The aim of this arrangement of the first trio sonata was to make this beautiful work accessible to recorder players. Lambertus Johannes Drop transposed the trio sonata from its original key of E flat major to F major.

Johann Ludwig Krebs was born in Buttelstedt in 1713. He received his first organ and music lessons from his father, Tobias Krebs. At the age of 13, he moved to Leipzig, where he remained in close proximity to Johann Sebastian Bach until 1737 – this made him into a ‘true Bach creature’. His education at St Thomas' School, his studies at Leipzig University and his organ and composition lessons with Bach had a decisive influence on Krebs and made him an accomplished and independent composer. While studying philosophy and law at Leipzig University, Krebs taught Luise Adelgunde Victoria Gottsched, the wife of the well-known writer Johann Christoph Gottsched, composition and probably also lute playing. He dedicated six Praeambula to her. After serving as organist in Zwickau and Zeitz, Krebs was appointed ducal court organist at the castle church in Altenburg in 1756. He remained there until his death on 1 January 1780. Krebs left behind an extensive musical oeuvre – primarily for organ , but also remarkable chamber music compositions. Content: 1.

The famous Italian Giovanni Battista Martini (1706-1784) was born in Bologna, where he also received his musical education. He studied composition with the vocal composer Giacomo Antonio Petri, Kapellmeister at the Church of San Petronio. After Petri's death, Martini succeeded his teacher and continued in this position until his own death. However, his work as a teacher and music historian was more significant. His handwritten compositions include numerous vocal and orchestral works, instrumental concertos and other works for keyboard instruments, including the ‘Sonate sui flauti’ expressly intended for the organ and a large number of organ pieces for liturgical use. The present Sonatas V and VII for organ, harpsichord or piano are included in the collection of 12 sonatas published in Amsterdam in 1742. This new edition follows the text of the first edition. Content: Sonata V Sonata VII

Die Klavierschule "Das Spiel zu zweit" ist ein vollständiger, in sich geschlossener Lehrgang für das Klavierspiel. Sie kann von Inhalt und Aufbau her wie jede geläufige Klavierschule auch für den Einzelunterricht Verwendung finden. Allerdings unterscheidet sich der Inhalt von anderen Unterrichtswerken in einem wesentlichen Punkt: Alle hier enthaltenen Musiken sind für das Spiel zu zweit bestimmt und geeignet. Sei es, dass jeweils zwei Stücke als Pendants erscheinen, sei es, dass andere die Voraussetzung zum gemeinsamen Spiel in sich selbst tragen. Das Spiel zu zweit ist Grundlage dieses Lehrgangs. Bei aller Aufeinanderbezogenheit sind die einzelnen Stücke so komponiert, dass sie in sich klingen und selbstständig sind. Band 2: N 2394
