A second collection of excerpts from MMO's catalogue of piano concerto editions, this sampling will bring you tremendous rewards as a pianist while allowing you to explore the repertoire.

Another compendium from MMO's catalogue of violin concerti, this album contains five complete slow movements from the world's great concerti, and serves as a perfect introduction to the concerto repertoire, full of memorable themes from Bach to Lalo. A great tool for the less technically advanced violinist due to the slower tempi of these selections, as well as a perfect collection to help improve your tone quality. Also makes a perfect way to help select concerti for your learning and performance needs.

Here are many of the best-loved melodies by the 'three B's' for violin and orchestra. Suitable for a range of technical levels, they will challenge and delight any violinist, amateur, student or professional, for years to come. The solo parts are performed by American violinist, Geoffrey Applegate; then you take his place in these beautiful classics alongside maestro Emil Kahn and the Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra.

These quartets include some of Mozarts richest chamber music. The D-major and C-major quartets were commissioned in 1777-1778 by Ferdinand Dejean, the same colorful character from the East India Company who commissioned Mozarts famous flute concerti; the A-major quartet is a tongue-in-cheek piece composed as hausmusik for the Jacquin family. All three are great fun for any flutist!

These three marches are not very well known but are absolutely wonderful pieces. They are all extremely unusual and show Beethoven's brilliance in the duet format (of which he wrote very little music). Beethoven fans, you will not be disappointed! Great fun to learn and to play.

These marvelous Baroque sonatas by Telemann and Hndel bring you together with a harpsichord and viola da gamba for a journey back in time to a genteel age filled with lovely music. Includes detailed notes with printed musical examples on period performance practices and ornamentation.
