Celleidoscope is a special composition for the 50th anniversary of the 12 cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker. The music is based on the idea of a kaleidoscope, in which colourful glass stones fall together differently each time they are turned, creating new images. The principle is adopted in the 12 cello parts: The instruments are arranged in a semi-circle and the musical building blocks run through the parts and are constantly rearranged, resulting in a unique music-playing and listening experience.

André Herteux worked with the now internationally successful ukulele artist Elisabeth Pfeiffer back when he was a student. This contact inspired him to write music for ukulele. Herteux is known for using his compositions to showcase the tonal characteristics and possibilities of the respective instruments, creating unique sound spaces and harmonic clouds. With these three pieces, Herteux takes players and listeners to enchanted places and gives the ukulele new, original pieces of its very own.

For individual and group lessons ‘Playing the violin is fun!’ is the motto of the Susi and Eddi violin school. With lots of attractive illustrations and a well thought-out pedagogical concept, it meets the needs not only of younger children. Using monophonic and polyphonic pieces, including many well-known children's songs, folk songs and canons, the basics of melody and ensemble playing are learnt in a playful way. The funny little monkeys Susi and Eddi are on hand to give violin students tips and tricks and ensure that even the smaller learning steps remain exciting. A child-friendly, large musical score and lots of pictures to colour in support the learning process.

Der zweite Band von "Fridolin goes Pop" beginnt mit zwei leicht gesetzten Traditionals im Feeling eines Ragtime-Blues. Bei allen folgenden Titeln sind die gitarristischen Ansprüche deutlich höher. Neben vielen Lagenwechseln werden Barrégriffe verlangt, zusätzlich Aufschlag- und Abziehbindungen, mehrstimmiges Spiel und ausgearbeitete Akkordzerlegungen. Die in der Popmusik übliche Rhythmik setzt außerdem einen sicheren Umgang mit Synkopen und Off-Beats voraus. Doch dies sollte versierten Gitarristen keine Schwierigkeiten bereiten, zumal die Einspielungen der gut gelungenen Stücke auf der CD dazu einladen, "einfach nur so" gehört zu werden und dadurch zum Mit- und Nachspielen anregen.

The second volume of Fridolin's Guitar Club again provides a wealth of pieces for guitar trio. In contrast to the first volume, slightly higher guitar skills are required, such as those taught in the guitar school ‘Der Große Fidolin’. Styles range from the Renaissance to Romanticism, from folk songs and blues to jazz and Latin style. Content: - Bingo - Lieber Bruder, tanz mit mir - Can the Circle Be Unbroken - Bunt sind schon die Wälder - Anglica - Der Dreher - Shady Grove - La digue digue don - Ecossaise - Skateboard-Meeting - Ostertalsmarsch - Prélude Nr. 7 (Chopin) - Going Down the Road Feeling Bad - Menuett - Allemande - Malbrough - Präludium (Tarrega) - Bahama Beach Dance - Schattenspiele - Ay, linda amiga! - Allegretto (Carulli) - A Happy Journey - Mowing the Barley - Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues - Unterwegs im Elfenland - Al paño fino - Relaxin' - Bossamba Nova

Founding a guitar club, making music together, perhaps even playing with friends or at music school: it all sounds exciting and promises great fun. ‘Fridolin's Guitar Club’ is aimed primarily at guitarists who want to start playing in a group as early as possible. All three guitar parts are in the first position, are set in one part and are rhythmically uncomplicated; for users of the ‘Fridolin’ guitar school, the extended instrumentation should not present any major hurdles as they are already familiar with playing two different parts together. However, users of other guitar schools will also find a wide range of playing material in this edition. The following review appeared in the magazine Akustik Gitarre (issue 5/06): ‘The 32 small and easy trios in the first position are the sixth playbook for the Fridolin guitar school for children and young people. The colourful mixture from gospel to tango to susato tempts you to play. Some hidden parallels could have been avoided, but the editor succeeds in creating a witty milestone of light literature with his own composition The Dripping Tap.’ Content: - Fröhlich segeln wir dahin - Skip to My Lou - Atte katte nuwa - Unser Katz hat Katzerl g'habt - Grün, grün, grün - She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain - Donde vas, buen caballero? - Bubble Gum Stomp - Donnerblitz und Flügelschlag - Weiche Pfoten schleichen nachts - Polly Wolly Doodle - Rocking Guitar - Country Waltz - Der Winter ist vergangen - Es klapperten die Klapperschlangen - What if a Day - Abendlied - Allemande - Por la noche - Fit For Fun - Little Brown Jug - Bed on the Floor - Malaguenita - Vive l'amour - Die Wolken ziehn herbei - Der alte Schaukelstuhl - Andante cantabile - The Gospel Train - Die Flaschenpost - Der tropfende Wasserhahn - Villanelle - Bagatelle

The second volume of ‘Fridolin goes Pop’ begins with two easy traditional pieces with a ragtime blues feel. In all the following titles, the guitaristic demands are significantly higher. In addition to many changes of position, barré fingerings are required, as well as upstrokes and downstrokes, polyphonic playing and elaborate chord breakdowns. The rhythms common in pop music also require a confident handling of syncopation and off-beats. However, this should not cause any difficulties for experienced guitarists, especially as the recordings of the well-made pieces on the CD invite you to listen to them ‘just for fun’ and thus encourage you to play along and repeat them. Content: - Bed on the Floor - Going Down the Road Feeling Bad - Miss Molly's Ragtime Cake - If She Is Going Away - Picking Peter & paul - The Greyhound Passage - Turtle Turn - The Thumb Generator - Time-Driver - No Sixes, No Sevens - Latin Grooves, Vorstudien zu Latino Beachbirds - Latino Beachbirds

The desire to play music in a popular style in guitar lessons or in leisure time is widespread. Hans Joachim Teschner's compositions and arrangements fulfil this need. Typical features of pop and rock music, such as syncopation, off-beats, bass lines and common harmonic progressions, characterise the pieces. To ensure that the rhythmic peculiarities do not unnecessarily detract from the fun of playing, the 1st guitar part is set lightly. Most of the songs and pieces can be listened to: simply scan the QR code on the respective piece and off you 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. Content: - Freight Train - Slow Walk - Sunny Afternoon - Rock Serenade - Short'nin Bread - Five Hundred Miles - Now She's Singing Again - Penny Stomp - Gospel Waltz - Rock My Soul - Backwater Blues - Rainy Day Blues - School Is Out - Teknok X - Blue Talk - Caribbean Dance - Slide Fingers - Fuzzy Funk - Katango

Scandinavia - A journey through the Nordic countries This time, Fridolin and Katrin travel through Norway with its fjords and skerries, roam through the forests of Sweden, discover the vast lake landscapes of Finland, marvel at the fantastic play of colours of the Northern Lights and indulge themselves in comparatively small Denmark. The often rugged landscapes of Scandinavia, nature and the sea leave indelible impressions. We encounter graceful folk songs, heartfelt melodies, but also lively dances full of joie de vivre. The melodies are all in the first guitar part. They can also be played comfortably with other instruments, e.g. alto recorder (flute) or violin.

Vive l'amour. Songs from France and Canada In France, the theme of love naturally occupies a special place, but there are also sailor and soldier songs, ballads, romances and cheerful children's songs that Fridolin and Katrin get to know on their journey. Even without knowing the lyrics, they give an impression of the diversity and richness of French song. The melodies are all in the first guitar part. They can also be played comfortably with other instruments, e.g. alto recorder (transverse flute) or violin.
