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.

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

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 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. Content : - 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 An accompanying CD is available for this sheet music, which offers musicians a practical supplement (N 4900).

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 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. The advantages of the Let's rag arrangements include the simplification of the rhythmic notation by doubling the note values from 2/4 time to alla breve 4/4 time. This means that even instrumentalists with less playing experience can enjoy this lively music. Contents: - 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 An accompanying CD is available for this sheet music, which offers musicians a practical supplement (N 4800).
