The piano part of "solo-pieces" is arranged so anybody, with a decent knowledge of piano playing, can accompany.

* the arrangements are meant to be used in lesson by the instrumental teacher who normally can`t play the piano very well (just be honest...)
* the arrangements can be performed in student concerts, also giving piano students the opportunity to learn to accompany
* building same aged duos is no problem anymore
* the essence of the piece will not be lost
* all pieces can be played with the original solo
* the massive piano sound is reduced and is much more fitting to the sound of a small student instrument
* all essential quemotives and rhythms are similar to the original part -
  the student will therefore not be irritated later

There are new pieces every week!
If you want to stay updated go to the Youtube channel.

From 2023 on the publisher "Heinrichshofen" owns my portfolio.

difficulty level          


* = absolute beginner
** = beginner / side reading possible
*** = needs an overview before lesson and practice before performing
**** = practice before lesson and prepare own fingering
***** = practice, damn it, practice (but hey - it's still easier than the original)
(+) = playing only left hand gets the job done (in lesson)

Why would you “cripple” this pieces?
Wouldn´t it be great if every student could not only play their student pieces with a great pianist but even with a real orchestra? That is not the reality. Most of the time the student is alone with his/her instrumental teacher. If the student is lucky, the teacher is a brilliant piano player. That doesn’t happen so often…. Most of the time the piano playing is lacking quality and therefore quantity. The result: The students learn their pieces without even having an idea about the accompaniment. Most importantly the students do not learn about chamber music. A teacher, who can play piano on a moderate level, can help his/ her students to achieve this goal. Also, music learning is much more enjoyable when played in a group, especially when the pieces are written for more than one player.
The piano teachers in my school don't want to teach arrangements to their students
I hear that often - but isn't music there for being enjoyed? And isn't chamber music best enjoyed when played with a person of same age?
My second big goal with this arrangements is to promote same age duos who can practice chamber music much more frequent and learn and enjoy on a same level.
Why are there so many violin pieces?
My wife is a violin teacher – when I have filled her demand I will look at other instruments – but please suggest pieces!
Do you think your wife is dumb?
Actually she came up with the name for the website when she was asking me frequently: „Honey, can you dumb this (piece) down for me?“ – and as always my only goal was to make her happy! … that´s how it all started.
Why only the 1. Movement of sonatas/ concerts?
Most of the time students are only learning the 1. movement and move on to another piece from there – sad but true – if I‘m wrong please correct me!
Why are there no fingerings in the music?
Most of the time the fingerings are only disturbing additional information that you have to process while playing. If you need fingerings at certain points, try out which ones are best for you. If they are printed in the music you can’t get easily rid of them.
Why don’t you sell the music on your website?
I’m a musician, not a web designer or salesman, so I want to have as little as possible to do with this and concentrate on the music :-)
At the same time I have to make a living...so please be fair "copy kills arranger"
