Update on the Kreisler Project

The first two project items are a fact:
  • „An Assembled Edition of Original Pieces And Arrangements For VIOLIN and PIANO”
  • „Klassische Manuskripte für Cello und Klavier”
You can find them both as an item in the Presto collection

The price is only € 1,00 because:
  • some of the violin and cello parts are already for free in the daCapo Collection
  • these files will make part of the Kreisler collection on CD-rom
  • Kreisler would have had his 134th birthday this month

Have a peek on this page (it will be updated frequently)

The Fritz Kreisler Project

I have started a new project based on this guy’s works (and life):

Kreisler

The Fritz Kreisler Project

and it will be a very comprihensive one!
containing at least the following components:

  • „An Assembled Edition of Original Pieces And Arrangements For VIOLIN and PIANO” as a Presto item
  • „Klassische Manuskripte für Cello und Klavier” as a Presto item
  • My collection of approx. 120 (public domain) works and arrangements by Fritz Kreisler on CD-rom
  • Some original recordings of Fritz Kreisler playing his violins
  • „Four Weeks in the Trenches” (1915) by Fritz Kreisler as an eBook
  • Some photomaterial
  • A biography
  • Listings of his publications

and again: More Duets

And again, I added a compilation of duets to the Presto Collection: 57 Duets for two Violins

I guess that’s it, for the Duos, for the time being.... what’s next?

I’m always accessible to new suggestions; just write me!

and again: More Free Sheet Music

Just added an other ten new items to the daCapo Collection;
a few for violin, some for cello and others for viola.
Some of them very simple, others are a more challenging and for the advanced student.

More Duets

Another compilation of duets is added to the Presto Collection: 49 Easy Violin Duets
together with a sample; the curious duo „der Spiegel” von Mozart landed the daCapo Collection too

More Free Sheet Music

Just added ten new items to the daCapo Collection;
a few for violin, some for cello and others for one or two viola(s).
Some of them very simple, others are a real challenge for the more advanced student.

Improve your skills!

I just added two compilations of Etudes -Studies- to the Presto collection:

-
Dotzauer 113 Etudes for Cello (=all 4 volumes)
-Wohlfahrt 150 Studies for Violin (= 5 volumes)

These complete new files have the same
unique feature as ALL the Presto compilations, you won’t find anywhere else:
They have a
clickable Table of Contents for fast and easy navigation (check the 2 samples for its working)

So now you have no more excuses: even if you only are in need for a few studies, because your technical skills are already at a high level (or you hardly like etudes); it won’t cost you much to get them all, but you only have to print the ones you really need (or like).

Oh, and I added a few files to the
daCapo collection. Some more for violin, and a few for viola and cello too.

Musical Terms

You used to know them, but forgot...
or you haven't the faintest idea what to do or how to play when you read italian words like:
"Col legno" , "Meno Mosso" or "Rubato"?
I added some pages where you can find all musical terms
explained in plain english,
oder ganz klar in Deutsch,
of gewoon in het Nederlands

Public Domain

Now you can find on this website almost every thing regarding Public Domain and Copyright you might want to know.

There is a
special page dedicated to this subject, where you find answers to a lot of questions. You even can read about it in your own language and look up the rules applicable to the law in your country.

Two new collections

Yesterday I started two new collections.

The first one is called
Presto ThemePacks and will be a collection of compilations with a specific theme.
I think of Duets, Quartets, Studies, a specific Era or Composer and so on.
They are sold as digital downloads, with the motto
buy-download-print-play! as a kind of iTunes for musical scores.
Now you understand the choise of the name
Presto. They sell at a unit price of € 2,5
The first two items are added: 35 Duets for Violin and Cello and 46 Duets for Violin and Viola and
free samples are available too.

The second one I called
daCapo Free&Easy. As the name says: From the start!
It is a collection of easy pieces for students. Most of them are in 1st-3rd position. The first few works are already availabel.
