The promised CD-rom will follow the 1st week of april and will include, besides the above listed works, the transcriptions for Cello and a number of other works for voice and piano, for piano solo and the Operetta „Apple Blossoms”, among other things.

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

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



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, 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!

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

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.
