There is hardly a musical area in which Mozart did not excel during his short life. His concertos, sonatas, four-hand works, and many individual pieces are part of the standard repertoire. This collection includes three small pieces taken from The Music Books of Mozart and His Sister, the Fantasy in D minor K. 397, and Gigue in G major K. 574.

Chopin was a fabulous pianist, improviser, and composer with a very unique, personal style that is characterized by a sense of rubato, allusions to Polish folk music, grace and melancholy contrasted by virtuosity, pride and heroic gestures. No other cycle of works wields such an appeal as his Préludes, Op. 28. This is a collection of nine of the préludes.

Robert Schumann's Scenes of Childhood, Op. 15, Album for the Young, Op. 68, and Forest Scenes, Op. 82 play a major role when learning how to play the piano, as they occupy an important place in the transition from piano methods to the great piano literature. This collection includes eleven pieces from the three work cycles.

Two popular pieces from the Moments Musicaux, Op. 94 as well as the much played Allegretto in C major and the Hungarian Melody in B minor. All but one of the works are from the last two years of Schubert's life. They reveal the composer's full mastery: melodic inventiveness, dance-like verve, and harmonic colourfulness. The melancholy typical of Schubert immediately captivates listeners and performers alike.

Bach opened the Anna Magdalena Notebook of 1725 with two of the large Partitas subsequently published in the first part of the Clavierübung, but the rest of the contents were determined by Anna Magdalena. On the whole, these are short pieces of “galanterie”: minuets, polonaises, marches, compositions by the elder children and attempts by the younger ones, little pieces, which she copied out of the family guest book.

When he wrote his Toccata and Fugue in D minor at the age of about 20, Bach would hardly have been able to fathom what a hit he was about to land. More than 300 years later, the composition not only enjoys great popularity within his entire extensive oeuvre but can unhesitatingly be considered the most famous work in organ literature ever.

Although it has not been possible to identify the composer of the Eight Little Preludes And Fugues, Alfred Dürr writes in his preface to this edition 'Since the value of a musical work is in no way dependent on whether the composer is known or not, the hope remains that the delightful and appealing music of the Eight will find enthusiasts...'.

With Spring Vivaldi musically brings to sound what we associate with this season: chirping birds, babbling brooks, blooming meadows, and a spirit of new beginnings. Edited by Christopher Hogwood the edition is based on the Manchester manuscript, which originated in Vivaldi's circle and offers an alternative, in many cases more coherent version of these famous concertos compared with the first printing, published by Le Cene in Amsterdam in 1725.

The first three movements of Johannes Brahms’ E minor Cello Sonata were composed in 1862, and the last movement was written in 1865. During the first years of its performance, the work was received with mixed enthusiasm. By the end of Brahms’ life, however, it was widely performed and by the first decades of the 20th century, it was firmly embedded in the repertoire of many distinguished cellists.
