Most well-known and generally popular – that’s what the Happy Birthday meals served by Claus-Dieter Ludwig are. Meanwhile, they are available in various instrumentations (for piano solo and piano duet, for accordion duo, string quartet and piano trio). Now, the work has been rearranged by Wolfgang Birtel – and the wind instruments are finally invited to the buffet! The classic trio d’anches with oboe, clarinet and bassoon deals with the epicurean delights of Happy Birthday in five courses to which other music titles have been added as well. Enjoy ‚Andante festivo e culinario‘, ‚Lento lasagne e lambrusco‘, ‚Marcia marsala e mozzarella‘, ‚Valzero vongole e vaniglia‘ and the crowning dessert, a fiery ‚Tango tartufo e tagliatelle‘! Instrumentation: wind quintet (Querflute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon)

‚Privacy‘ means separation. The title of the trio for clarinet, violin and piano thus describes the character of the piece. The piano weaves sound tapestries of deep and long, yet fully fingered chords which increase their tempo in the course of the piece. In contrast to that, the melody of the violin is for the most part played in a very high register. It is the clarinet that fills the space between these extremes by means of trembling trills, always following the rhythm of the violin and answering to the latter like an echo. Instrumentation: clarinet, violin and piano

The music of small forms and of chamber-music instrumentations was to become the focus of the French composer Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924). In 1874, after many years spent in the ‚provinces‘, the teacher of Camille Saint-Saëns took the position of organist in Paris; later he not only worked as a church musician but also as a teacher. In the summer of 1887 Fauré wrote his Pavane opus 50, originally intended for a concert providing light entertainment, which soon gained wide popularity as an orchestral setting without and with the chorus added by Fauré. The romantic, slightly melancholy melody is a catchy tune which, thanks to the present arrangement, can now also be performed soloistically with piano accompaniment. Instrumentation: clarinet in Bb and piano

‚Tinnitus-Trio – Scene with Beethoven‘ deals in a subtle and parodistic manner with the question as to how Beethoven wrote his late works despite his deafness. Legend has it that he had the legs of his grand piano removed in order to transfer the vibrations directly to the ground and feel them through his body. Even Hiller’s original composition which is interspersed with shreds of sound from Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas Op. 31 to Op. 111 like fragments could be played on a grand piano with removed legs, but this is not obligatory. Instrumentation: clarinet in Bb, cello and piano

Ein neoimpressionistisches, virtuos-cantables Stimmungsbild. Schwierigkeitsgrad: 5

Born in the village of Brand in the Upper Palatinate, Max Reger (1873 1916) was taught by the renowned music theoretician Hugo Riemann. After finishing his studies and working as a freelance performer and composer in Wiesbaden, he moved to Weiden, beset by personal crises, and eventually to Munich. To make himself better known in the musical scene, he had some of his smaller works inserted in the magazine Neue Musikzeitung. This is how his Romanze G-Dur for violin and piano was published in November 1901, a beautiful occasional work, ideal for music lessons or as a tranquil encore after a concert also in an arrangement for clarinet and piano. Instrumentation: clarinet in Bb or A and piano
