Letters from X, Fax from X, For 51 to LI

Letters from X was composed in 1981, Fax from X in 2003, and For 51 to LI in 2009. Not only the instruments but also the performers - all three works are dedicated to Zoltán Gyöngyössy and István Lukácsházi, and they were the first to perform them - connect the three duos, which were composed with rather long intervals between them. A duo for flute and double bass is rather unusual, yet that is precisely why it can suit the chamber repertoire of both instruments. The three pieces can also be played independently.

Violin-ABC : Violin tutor for beginners using children's and folksongs from all over the world

Children's songs and folksongs from all over the world make up the bulk of the music material found in the Violin ABC. Added to this are excerpts from the art music of various periods, with special emphasis on Baroque dance movements.

Early Hungarian Dances from Gömör

The title of the suite Early Hungarian Dances from Gömör suggests the arrangement and harmonization of dance tunes, but this three-movement cycle is far more than that: in fact, the old court dances that provide the thematic material have been freely thought through and brought to completion. The composer has breathed new life into the 18th-century melodies, as Zoltán Kodály did with the Galanta and Marosszék dances, Antonin Dvo ák with Slav dances, and Johannes Brahms with those of Hungary. The chief virtues of the work are its colourful, varied instrumentation, the tasteful combination of its archaic style with the musical language of our day, and not least the fact thatits every bar is enjoyable to play and easy to listen to.

122 Bicinia from the 16th century : Compiled and edited by Soós András

This collection, similarly to the publication entitled 111 bicinia from the 15th century (EMB 14478), contains longer and shorter two-part excerpts from polyphonic ecclesiastical choral works, for pedagogical and liturgical use. As teaching material, on the one hand it introduces and notes in brief textual definitions the characteristics of each given excerpt: on the other hand, it provides easily usable examples for teaching music history, solfege and counterpoint (practice of intervals, score-reading, dictation, stylistic exercises, etc.) At the same time the movements, which also function as independent units, can be quickly learnt, and may on occasions add colour to themusical palette of the liturgy by introducing material that can be performed even by a children's choir. The volume consists mainly of excerpts taken from Mass movements and Magnificats by Palestrina, Lassus, Gombert, Clemens non Papa and others.

Oboe ABC : Exercices for oboe from the very beginning, using children's and folksongs from all over the world

This volume in the ABC series, having regard to the special demands of oboe teaching, takes the beginner on from a less elementary level than the other volumes, and accordingly proceeds to a higher level than the other instrumental ABCs. The authors have made this volume usable in a variety of ways by including not only a wealth of exercises and folk melody material but also a survey of the history of the instrument, scale exercises and a little lexicon of musical terms. The textual instructions are provided in three languages: German, English and Hungarian.
