He was born on 13 February 1778 in Barcelona and received his musical education, among other places, at the Monastery of Montserrat. As a celebrated virtuoso, Sor performed in numerous European cities and composed not only operas and ballets, but also symphonies, string quartets, and Spanish songs.

First Steps in Playing the Guitar in Groups or Classes Designed by Alois Bröder and Martin Schumacher for guitar lessons in groups or classes from Year 5 onwards, *Fische haben nie kein Knie* contains a wide range of one- to four-part pieces, ranging from international folk songs to examples of contemporary composition. In the main section, ‘Pieces to Play’, basic guitar techniques are introduced and the corresponding sheet music presented, with canons and ostinato accompaniments encouraging constant interaction. The four supplementary sections – ‘Chords’, ‘Rhythm’, ‘Improvisation’ and ‘Listening’ – serve both to liven up the lessons and to broaden musical awareness, and can be woven into the main section on an individual basis at the teacher’s discretion. This innovative teaching approach gains further artistic value through the varied use of texts by Joachim Ringelnatz, which also make *Fische haben nie kein Knie* a small reader.

The guitar school contains almost a hundred songs and pieces that introduce children - from around the age of 7 - to playing the guitar. The guitar school was primarily designed for group lessons, but it can be used just as well in individual lessons. Melody playing, accompaniment with bass notes, two-part solo playing and, of course, song accompaniment using chord symbols are taught in small learning steps. Children's songs, joke songs, folklore from Germany and all over the world replace monotonous exercises. Hans Joachim Teschner has taken care to ensure that once the school has been learnt, it is possible to immediately move on to the extensive playing literature. Most of the songs and pieces can be listened to: simply scan the QR code on the respective piece and you're ready to go. There is a complete version of each of the songs for two guitars and a version with one guitar part missing. So you can play along, add the missing part or simply listen to the pieces. This edition replaces the previous edition N 2020 and the edition with CD.
