for flute, harpsichord, and strings or flute and pianoThe instrumentation is the same as Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.5. The Suite is made up of six movements ranging from `a Bach-like Aria' to a 'Richard Rodgers-style Waltz'. Rutter's own style comes forth most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and beautiful melodic lines. Evoking an 'antique' spirit, each movement is based on a Baroque or Classical style.Full scores and parts are available on hire.
Whether they are strange, wicked, angelic or exotic these cats are always cats and never the little furry humans often depicted elsewhere. Why some of the cats do the things they do is anyone's guess, but in any case this book will intrigue, perplex and enlighten all at the same time. This is Simon Drew's fifth book and is the first to concentrate so strongly on one subject. The others are A Book of Bestial Nonsense , Nonsense in Flight , Still Warthogs Run Deep and The Puffin's Advice . All have received enthusiastic acclaim and sold widely in the U.K. and the rest of Europe, U.S.A., Australia and New Zealand.

The most popular collection of classical piano music ever published. This authoritative volume contains over 140 selections-covering romantic, modern, light, sacred, and operatic music-with works by Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Haydn, Wagner, and many more.
Now available in paperback, the critically acclaimed, “lyrical, analytical, yet deeply affecting” (The Washington Post) memoir about one woman’s obsessive search for the perfect piano— and about finding and pursu- ing passion at any age. The daughter of a pro- fessional musician, Perri Knize was raised in a home saturated in classical music, but it wasn’t until adult- hood that she returned to the one instrument that mesmer- ized her most: the piano. When, in her forties, Perri decides to buy a piano of her own, she begins by searching for a modestly priced upright, but falls madly, illogically, in love with a rare German grand she discovers in a New York showroom. After a long dalliance, Knize refinances her house to purchase her piano and has the instru- ment shipped to Montana. But when it arrives, the magical sound that enthralled her is gone, and the tone is dead and dull. One piano tuner after another arrives to fix it, but no one can.Knize sets out on an epic journey to restore the instru- ment to its rightful sound and to understand its elusive power. This quest leads her into an international subculture of piano aficionados, all intrigu- ing and eccentric characters— concert artists, dealers, tech- nicians, composers, designers, and builders—whose lives have been transformed by the spell of a piano. She even hikes into the Austrian Alps to learn how the special trees used to build her piano are grown and harvested.Beautifully composed, passionately told, Grand Obsession is itself a musical masterpiece— and will resonate with anyone who has ever expe- rienced deeply passionate desire.
For beginners and experienced technicians alike.
