The New Look: Files for Download

Digital File as a Product
Heiden Music
Publications is evolving! In addition to
music printed on paper, the new look offers an
electronic product delivered as a zipped pdf
file attached to an Email, so that a customer
can print (and reprint!) as needed. A new focus
– string-friendly theory – permeates the change:
not only the music in notation, but
supplementary analysis that teaches the relevant
theory. Our initial offering, for example,
presents performance materials for an attractive
late-baroque orchestra concerto by G.M. Alberti
– featuring first and second violin sections (no soloists). But also
included is material that teaches the analysis
of its ritornello form –knowledge fundamental to
understanding any baroque or classical concerto.
Play from Eighteenth-Century Manuscript Parts!

contributed by the Sächsische
Landesbibliothek, Dresden.

its egregious errors noted, but

directed to perform from the realized basso
continuo part.
