Mozart Violin Sonatas

There are a ton of Mozart Violin Sonatas out there and I’ve posted all of them below but you can also see them individually at IMSLP, or the Neue Mozart Ausgabe, where all of Mozart’s works, analysis of editorial issues and other scholarly stuff is cataloged.

The earlier K numbers in the set of sonatas were (as [...]

Love Songs: Sheet Music

These are songs for Mezzo Soprano and Piano that I wrote a few months ago and were performed at the latest Circles and Lines concert in December.  I’ll hopefully have recordings for you all soon.  The texts are below each blurb about the piece.

The cycle is intended to have a key [...]

Schubert Quartet in A Minor, “Rosamunde”

This is the first complete quartet I performed in  public setting, so it holds a special place of malice in my heart.  The struggle that the viola and cello have in getting those 16th notes in the opening bar to match in articulation and duration is frustrating.  As always, these are re-hosted from IMSLP.

Debussy, Prelude a l’apres-midi d’un faune.

Prelude a l’apres-midi d’un faune which was first premiered in 1894 is considered perhaps to be the birth piece of the modernist movement. Though wikipedia says “It is a work that barely grasps onto tonality and harmonic function,”  It is actually an incredibly tonal work, in that it has very prominent key areas.  This is not [...]

Boccherini Sonata for Viola and Cello

The quality of this sheet music is a little low, but I thought it might be interesting to put up this Sonata – Duo by Boccherini because his music is ridiculous and something good for a viola cello duo at a gig.

41 Campagnoli Caprices fo Viola

These caprices are part of the viola etude repertoire.  It’s a very useful book.

Sevcik Op. 1

Most violinists or violists who’ve decided to perform as a career have played exercises from these books.  They are not quite etudes in the sense that Kreutzer or Rode are, but still much more music-like than Dounis exercises or scales.

I find they are incredibly useful, especially the first book in teaching the hand proper motion between [...]

Beethoven Piano Sonatas, Nos. 9-16

Here are piano sonatas from 9 to 16.  This includes No. 14, the famous “Moonlight”.  There is a nice, thorough analysis of that sonata here at The Classical Music Blog (unfortunately the page hasn’t been updated in over a year with new material).

Beethoven’s “Moonlight sonata”, a name coined by German music critic Ludwig Rellstab after Beethoven’s [...]
