We at NSM were delighted to be asked by the flute/viola/piano trio Ensemble Aubade to create this viola part, so their group could perform the Farrenc Trio with viola in lieu of the original cello. It was a terrific idea, and we’re publishing the viola part so that other violists can add it to their repertoire as well.
Continuing along with our Bartók For Children series, John Pratt has just completed an edition of selected pieces from Book 1 for oboe and bassoon. This new publication includes the same 25 pieces from Book 1, after Hungarian folksongs, as our edition for flute and clarinet, now arranged as duets for oboe (or flute) and bassoon. Visit the listing page to read more about For Children, and to view a preview page from the oboe and bassoon score.
John Pratt has completed a second edition of arrangements from Bartók’s For Children.

Though written for solo piano, many of the pieces in Béla Bartók’s For Children collection are entirely or mostly in two voices, making them readily amenable to arrangement for two winds. Our new publication includes 23 pieces from For Children’s Book 2 (Slovakian folksongs) arranged by John Pratt as duets for flute (or oboe) and clarinet. Students, teachers, and every-day players can make as much of them as they like ... as simple tunes for beginners content to learn basic notes and rhythms, or as more advanced studies on articulation, musicality, etc.
We recently added Tom Schnauber’s Those Infernal Exsanguinators for flute and piano to our catalog. Today we published a second piece by this excellent composer ... the delightful A Little Grand Wedding March Waltz. Although this duet is scored for the unusual instrumentation of piccolo and trombone, it can work as easily and as well with concert flute taking the upper voice and either cello or bassoon playing the lower part.
