20 Five-note Melodies for Beginners
For Soprano Recorder and Piano
Score and one part, 32 pages, 22,90€

In March 2024, recorder teacher Elisabeth Neuser from Ulm asked me to write simple pieces for her pupils, pieces with a melody consisting of just five notes: g - a - b - c - d. I was inspired by the idea and within three weeks I had written a total of 70 pieces of this kind, in the style of Chopin and Debussy, African and Polish, Spanish and medieval, pop, swing and Viennese waltzes. I also kept the piano accompaniments as playable as possible. I had in mind that a seven-year-old beginner recorder player would be accompanied by her ten-year-old sister.

This is the second edition. I would like to thank Lucia Guckler and Tomoko Otsuki for their wonderful title suggestions, and Yun-Jung Hsiao, who recorded 27 pieces with me in April 2024. I will publish them one by one on YouTube.

My Christmas offer: You can get both editions (Volume 1 and Volume 2, so 40 pieces) together for just 34.90 until 24 December!
