This arrangement of a well-loved cockney song is the oldest of all of Carlo Martelli's many hundreds for this medium, although not the first to be published. The reference to Bizet's toreador has its origins in a private joke between the arranger and one of the original performers. Ideal for concerts, weddings and all occasions, this arrangement was recorded on the CD British Light Music Premieres Vol. 1, released in 2004 by Dutton Epoch CDLX 7147.

Chopin, Frédéric François
Chopin arr. Thorp – Valse, Opus 70 No. 3 (String Quartet) – Digital Download
Amongst Chopin's many brilliant, virtuosi and completely pianistic pieces are to be found gentler creations suitable for transcription for string quartet, such as the lively but lyrical Valse (Opus 70 No. 3), transposed up a semitone into the friendlier D major by arranger Bill Thorp.

Amongst Chopin's many brilliant, virtuosi and completely pianistic pieces are to be found gentler creations suitable for transcription for string quartet, such as the restrained, introspective and, with its Lento marking and low-lying melodies, possibly ironically termed Grande Valse Brillante.

This is an arrangement for wind quintet of a late piano work by Brahms. There is not enough music, that communicates the deepest of human emotions, available for wind quintet at present, either as original compositions or in arrangements. By making this arrangement David has contributed to remedying this shortage, as well as bringing a powerful piece to the attention of musicians and audiences who might not otherwise come across it. The arrangement seeks to preserve the textural clarity and sensuous melodic lines of the original. Much of the richness and late romantic warmth of the arrangement comes from Brahms' flexibility of rhythm and tonality. This piece can be played by an ensemble where nobody is beyond the standard of Grade 8 Associated Board, which would include most adult amateur wind quintets. For secondary schools, community performing groups, teaching studios, colleges, conservatories, amateurs, libraries and professionals.

Beethoven's nine symphonies have for nearly two hundred years formed the backbone of the orchestral repertory. This movement from the first of these symphonies, though already strongly marked with the composers personality, retains some traces of the 18th century, especially of Haydn. Arranged by Carlo Martelli.

This gay and skittish movement from Beethoven's earliest symphony recalls Haydn in the character of its themes and their development. The arranger Carlo Martelli has omitted the opening hesitant violin passage.

One of the most tender and heartfelt of melodies is this slow movement from the Opus 13 Piano Sonata. Indeed the subtitle Pathétique, acquired by the sonata, derives from the mood evoked by this middle movement. Arranged by Carlo Martelli.
