The aim of Let's rag... is to make ragtime music accessible to a large number of instrumentalists. The choice of easy-to-play keys and the shortening of the original length to a manageable two piano pages per ragtime allows players to realise these arrangements without time-consuming preparation. Each solo instrument has the option of playing these ragtimes with traditional piano accompaniment or being accompanied by the CD. The pieces on the CD are recorded with flute in the first version and can be played with piano accompaniment in the second version. Content (sheet music with CD): - The Easy Winners - Peacherine Rag - Maria's Rag - The Entertainer - The Sycamore - Dickie's Rag - Sunflower Slow Drag - The Strenuous Life - Little Annie's Swing Rag - The Ragtime Dance

After ‘Curtain up for the cello’, Christine Löhr provides another treasure trove of creative games, sound and finger exercises for young cellists. In this second volume, the first position wide and the half position are at the centre of a rather sporty pleasure. Imaginative song texts make all difficulties disappear and turn the changing finger positions into child's play. Many two-part songs also promote ensemble playing and make this volume indispensable.

The edition contains two versions, the simplified version is suitable for pupils, the original version for advanced pupils. English Version: N 2706

Karl Friedrich Abel (1723-1787) is regarded in music history as ‘the last musician who treated the viola da gamba with happiness and favour’ (quote from Goethe's 8th book ‘Dichtung und Wahrheit’). His acquaintance with Johann Christian Bach is also well known. Together they founded and conducted the London Bach-Abel concerts from 1764-1781. The fact that he also turned to the violoncello in later years has been almost completely ignored in music research. The two sonatas presented here (presumably composed in Berlin in 1782) are taken from the Abel Complete Edition by Walter Knape (published by Ad Portam, Cuxhaven). The two sonatas are undoubtedly early classical cello music, as can be seen from the outward appearance of the clef. In the G major sonata, the usual three movements are followed in a formally particularly appealing manner by a minor-key Romance as the fourth movement (with diminished octaves in bars 10 and 14), which leads into a folk-song-like major-key movement in 6/8 time and thus concludes the sonata in G major. The Adagio of the A major sonata features an original cadenza with high harmonics, which was a new playing technique at the time and is an attractive introduction to classical cello technique (Boccherini, Romberg, etc.) for today's cellists. The bass accompaniment is unfigured, so that the early classical piano writing can be played just as well on the harpsichord as on the fortepiano. The violoncello part has been precisely marked by the editor. Content: I. Sonate G-Dur (WK-Sammelordnung 147) - Allegro moderato - Adagio - Tempo di Minuetto II. Sonate A-Dur (WK-Sammelordnung 148) - Allegro moderato - Adagio - Rondeau - Romance
