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.

Another volume from the Elisabeth Pfeiffer presents series: What would it have been like if Franz Schubert had written for ukulele? Sebastian Krämer asked himself this question and composed five variations on his own ‘Theme Viennese Style’ for Elisabeth Pfeiffer. She writes about this work: ‘Sebastian Krämer has shown that the ukulele is capable of complex, polyphonic music. Not only does he utilise the characteristics of the ukulele; he also brings them to full expression. These variations are among the most beautiful and some of the most technically demanding pieces in my repertoire.’
