PRESENTING "VIOLIN SHEET MUSIC CD 1", which contains the public domain
sheet music for over 600 pieces--4000 pages conservatively
estimated--for violin or
playable by violin alone or in combination with other strings and/or
piano, including published collections, sonatas, concertos, and duos
& trios using violin (no quartets). My (i.e., John D.
Howard's) cd presents a great many shorter pieces suitable for the
early 'grades' as well as the work of famous composers, arrangers and
violinists like Cui, Elman, (for Kreisler, see my Kreisler sheet music
cd on ebay), Lehmann, F. David, Ysaye, Vivaldi, etc. It also
includes many pieces previously unavailable, such as the TOMASINI
(Haydn's concertmaster) Duo Concertante in Eb for 2 vns. Priority
for inclusion was given to material not available elsewhere, such as on
the "CD Sheet Music Series". The cd is the result of scanning,
processing and collecting by me since the year 2000.

The sources for the above cd include: items from my library;
items from many other libraries, including interlibrary loan; items
from colleagues; and items downloaded from several sites,
including the Library of Congress, Creative Commons sources, Mutopia,
Werner Icking, but most importantly the University of Rochester's
Sibley Library at https://urresearch.rochester.edu . (With one or
two exceptions, every page from the Rochester/Sibley Library files was
reworked.) A disadvantage with the Mutopia and Icking offerings
is the often poor layout resulting in very inconvenient page turns.

Presenting "KREISLER SHEET MUSIC CD", which contains
the
printable image files of 91
pieces, most for violin & piano (with eight of these transcribed
for cello & piano); some
pieces utilizing voice or piano;
two
pieces for piano; the 1919 musical "Apple Blossoms"; and the 4 parts
for the String Quartet in a minor--all by beloved violinist Fritz
Kreisler (1875-1962). All
pieces come with all "parts",
i.e., violin
parts, piano parts, etc.--just as they were originally published.
(As
is usual, a vocalist would find the vocal part in the score also used
by the pianist--simply print one
copy of the piano score for each
participant, as desired.)
The
result is many hundreds of pages of 8 1/2 X 11 sheet music scanned at
300 dpi
and presented both as .PDF
files and as .TIF files (some
.tif files are zipped)--over 550mb of data. All pages of music are "clean",
with very few extraneous markings, and are suitable for duplex
(2-sided)
printing. All music
pages are in the public
domain.
