The series ‘dumb it down’ offers simplified piano accompaniments by Philip Lehmann to standard works for violin, viola, violoncello, flute, clarinet and other instruments. The level of difficulty is strongly dependent on the tempo. The notation clearly differentiates which quavers should be played and which are optional by indicating the repetition marks (see the notation from bar 11 in the 3rd movement in particular). This additional possibility of simplification as well as a low tempo (realistic in a teaching context) justify the rating of the piano movement as 2. The faster the music is played, the closer one gets to difficulty level 4. The edition contains QR codes for play-alongs in various tempi with the original piano setting. Level of difficulty 2 : Must be looked at before the lesson, practised before the concert Level of difficulty 3 : Fingerings may need to be entered and practised Level of difficulty 4 : Compared to the original, the piano writing has been greatly simplified, but can still be practised by amateurs The edition is also available as a pdf file.

In keeping with the intention of this series of editions to provide simplified piano accompaniments, no pedagogical entries are added to the part of the solo instrument. The aim is to simplify the piano part as much as possible. The arrangements therefore do not claim to be original or musicological. The editor and publisher feel the need to clearly point this out, especially in the case of this concerto by Telemann. Here, an examination of the performance practice of the Baroque period is required in order to be able to appropriately organise and embellish the basic structure of the solo part offered here.

Often a common thread is missing in a student concert, one piece is strung together incoherently with the next. Ute Bihler does things differently: she ties all of her piano students' pieces into a story that makes the student concert an exciting and entertaining experience for little pianists and their listeners. Adventures Under Water tells in 17 short chapters how Felix and Sonja attend a diving course during their summer vacation and experience exciting adventures. The piano pieces in the album are offered in different difficulty levels. There are two- and four-hand, works, some with optional teacher accompaniment. Thus, the book can be used in individual lessons or by several students who can then perform a concert together. A list of alternative pieces from the classical piano repertoire offers the opportunity to incorporate other pieces into the story, so that current lesson content can be easily integrated into the story. With many color illustrations.
