This quartet composition represents an attempt to combine different musical stylistic elements - including various jazz styles, atonality, motivic-thematic work and improvisational approaches - in a coherent musical context.

These easy ragtime trios contribute to the enrichment of everyday musical life by providing valuable educational impulses through motivating ensemble playing. The arrangements are deliberately kept at an easy level of difficulty to enable beginners and advanced beginners to make music together successfully.

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).

Samuel Scheidt (1587-1654) composed this early Baroque instrumental piece, which was published in 1621 and describes a war situation, for 4 to 5 wind instruments (2 cornetts and 3 trombones) and basso continuo. This arrangement transposes the composition and changes the part-writing in the lower parts, making the Battaglia very easy to play.

Standards & Traditionals Jazz quartets for trumpets and trombones are very rare. The arrangements presented here should be played in the "swing" style. A written-out solo shows possible ways of improvisation. The ensemble can also play without turning pages from the score. Content: - Trompeten-Blues (Heger) - Basin-Street-Blues (Williams) - After You've Gone (Creamer & Layton) - Down by the Riverside (Traditional) - Bingo-Blues (Traditional)

According to oral sources, the 6 Aufzugsmusiken, which are presented here for the first time as a complete practical edition, originate from the church of Schnaitsee in Upper Bavaria; the composer is anonymous. They are easy, two-part pieces which were played by the town pipers at secular or religious festivals until the last century. The arrangements are unique in the old trumpet literature, as they contain both the trumpet tuning and instrumentation instructions.
