Christoph Schaffrath (1709-1763) was one of the important musicians and composers that the music-loving Frederick II of Prussia gathered around him. He can be described as one of the most interesting and imaginative composers of the Berlin circle. In addition to overtures, symphonies and quartets, he mainly wrote harpsichord works and chamber music in which the keyboard instrument plays a leading role. The editor's work extends to compiling the score, correcting some errors and setting out the continuo parts. Additions to the score are indicated as such by small notes, brackets or dotted slurs.

Hook's role model, Johann Christian Bach, had a long-lasting effect on the English composer's work. He shares with him a strong melodic talent with an emphasised sense of form. Content: I.

Born in Bergamo on 3 September 1695, Pietro Antonio Locatelli studied with Corelli in Rome. In 1725 he was appointed chamber virtuoso at the court of Mantua. He also performed as a violinist in the entourage of the Elector of Saxony, for example in Kassel in 1728, Berlin in 1729 and Amsterdam, where he settled permanently in 1730. As a violin teacher, composer and music publisher, he was both respected and wealthy there. Locatelli died on 3 March 1764 and was buried in the Beguinage in Amsterdam. We know from his estate catalogue that he owned two transverse flutes and a ‘Flûte d'Amour’. His Opus II, 12 sonatas for ‘Flauto traversiere’ and basso continuo, also shows that he was very familiar with the transverse flute. The present work is taken from Opus V, published by the author himself in Amsterdam in 1746. The title of the opus, which contains six sonatas, explicitly states that they can be played with two violins as well as two flutes. There is also nothing to prevent it being scored for violin and flute. This original version remained unchanged when it was saved. Like many of Locatelli's compositions, this trio sonata also differs from the works of his Italian contemporaries in its unconventional originality. It is also particularly easy to play, as it is dedicated to a dilettante, the city secretary of Amsterdam, M. Lestevon, a pupil and patron of the composer. It will also delight music lovers of our time, not least because of the pastoral middle movement. Content: - Andante - Largo, Andante - Allegro - Vivace

Telemann bringt in seinen "36 Fantaisies" je ein Dutzend "Fantasien" in deutscher, französischer und italienischer Manier. Die lose Folge durch einige Tonarten wurde von Christa Sokoll methodisch ausgebaut und führt bei progressiver Reihung und Aufteilung in vier Bände systematisch durch den Quintenzirkel.

Der zweite Band des Flötenclubs stellt wieder eine Fülle von Spielstücken für die Triobesetzung (Altblockflöten oder Querflöten) zur Verfügung. Stilistisch geht es von der Renaissance bis zur Romantik, von Folksongs über Blues bis zu Spirituals und Kompositionen in verschiedenen populären Stilarten. Wie man schnell aus den Notenwerten, den Vorzeichen und auch aus dem Umfang der Stücke ersehen kann, wird hier ein höheres Maß an das instrumentale Können der Spielerinnen und Spieler vorausgesetzt. Über das frühe Unterrichtsstadium sollten sie also schon hinaus sein. Die Titel sind dabei nicht strikt nach Schwierigkeitsgrad geordnet, so dass man zwischendurch auch Spielstücke vorfindet, die sich entspannt und ohne große Anstrengung realisieren lassen.

In two consecutive volumes, Willibald Lutz presents alto recorder duets based on folklore / folk music (series B), which can be used very well in lessons. The first volume explores the practice ranges from f‘ to b’’. Volume 2 deals with the exercise range from f‘ to d’‘’. The level of difficulty develops from very easy to moderately difficult and thus expands the technical skills. Volume 1: The exercise ranges from f‘ to b’’ Volume 2: The exercise ranges from f‘ to d’‘’
