Music Tabulature

The Music Reader has been conceived as a kind of music magazine for junior music schools. Its aim is to provide children with a valuable music material and the collecting together of works by various composers of different epochs in one volume will make it easier for a teacher to select a repertory which would have to be assembled from different not always available collections. In addition the Music Reader as its title suggests might provide useful material for sight-reading practice. All the pieces in the Music Reader have been checked against urtext editions or the most recent critical editions. The editing in itself has also been modernized in order to make the text as transparent as possible. The editor's performance directions regarding tempo dynamics articulation and so on have been placed in brackets in order to differentiate them from the composer's marks while added slurs are pecked. In this way both teacher and student will be able to distinguish the original marks from those added by the editor which - of course - are less binding.
