These exceptional etudes for clarinet form an important development in Venezuelas musical heritage. Clarinet artist and educator Carmen Borregales commissioned twelve etudes from twelve outstanding Venezuelan composers who explore the country's popular music of raditional roots. Each etude draws from a specific genre of this music to demonstrate an innovative approach to technical practice and skill development for clarinet. Borregales provided composers with references for etude method books and the Venezuelan genres. In the editing process she contributed an extensive knowledge of expressive approaches and various musical details. She has recorded ll twelve etudes to ensure each clearly demonstrated an aspect or technique from the overall pedagogical objectives (online playlist included). The results of their combined efforts form this comprehensive method book, 12 Etudes for Clarinet in Venezuelan Style. The method is devised for advanced-level players in developing pedagogical and performance practices.

Even if many violinists consider Prokofiev's opus 94 as “their” violin sonata: this enchanting work was written for flute! Prokofiev composed it in 1942–43, only subsequently did he make a version for violin (HN 1624), which was premiered in 1944. The great success of this arrangement was probably the reason why the original flute sonata was not published during Prokofiev's lifetime. Even later, a separate flute part was published merely as a supplement to the violin version. Since then, the flute sonata has only been known in this “mixed form”– which is very problematic in that the piano accompaniment of the two versions differ substantially. Henle's source-critical Urtext edition of the flute sonata is based on the autograph preserved in Moscow as well as on the copyist's manuscript of the flute part of the premiere. It offers for the first time the unadulterated musical text for flute and piano, without later amendments from the violin arrangement. In the preface, Prokofiev specialist Simon Morrison clearly explains the intricate genesis of the sonata.

It was in 1947, two years after winning the celebrated Grand Prix de Rome, that the French composer Claude Pascal (1921-2017) composed the Sonatine for alto saxophone and piano, his first work for Adolphe Sax's instrument. Firmly anchored in the tonal system, and far removed from any contemporary musical trends, Claude Pascals composition was conceived in the very French spirit of a Ravel or a Debussy, whose influences can be heard throughout the work.

Intrada: from the outset, the title of Arthur Honegger's piece for trumpet and piano is programmatic. Composed in April 1947 for the Concours International dExécution Musicale de Genève [The Geneva International Music Competition], this work refers to the intradae, which functioned as overtures, written for brass instruments during the 16th and 17th centuries. Honeggers use of pentatonic modes throughout the entire piece is equally remarkable and creates an immediately recognisable stylistic unity. Introduction and notes on interpretation in French and English by André Feydy.
