Sheet Music

All sheet music on this page has been edited by Georg Mertens

___________________________________________

To the Editions of Sheet Music

"All my editions are written by hand. Computer music programs seem to have there own mind. If you want to write fingerings in, you have always to enter a conversation with someone who says: you can't do that, you have to do it my way." G.M.

Copyright for all sheet music available from this page by Georg Mertens.
Copying of "free sheet music" welcome. Any use for commercial purposes or publishing without permission of the author prohibited.

I would appreciate a notice (best a prgram) of performances including music from this webpage (send to "Contact" right column)

________________________________________________

A comment to free sheetmusic and sheetmusic with a fee

"Most music we buy is written by composers who are dead, copyright is public domain. The music available today is usually edited by someone who was known to the publisher, not necessarily a good editor. Often after I had paid for the editor, I got the white out and a pencil and got virtually rid of all the suggestions, because they were not good. Then I wrote something more sensible in. I paid only the person, who wrote the (not good) markings in - nothing to the composer.

Therefore I only charge for music, which I composed or where transcribing was as involved as writing a new piece.
Music with just suggestions of bowings and fingerings is free.
I decided also to offer methods for free to allow teachers to experiment with the material.
I appreciate comments and feedback.

cello part only [grading 6 out of 10]
Free download

(For physical CD's see section "CD releases" - top left section)

Cello 2 & 3 to "The Swan" (cello accompaniment) by Georg Mertens
Originall the whole cycle "The Carnival of the Animals" had been written for 2 pianos, just for a children's birthday party.
How about a cellist's birthday with a performance of "The Swan" by 3 cellos? Or a full cello ensemble playing "The Swan", just for fun!
Cello 2 incorporates the theme as an echo and imitates the water like effect, which is usually symbolised by the part of the harp / piano.
Cello 3 reminds of Bach's Prelude in G major from Suite No 1, made to fit "The Swan"!
It all fits like magic - even with the piano on top of the three cellos.
It would be very nice of you all to send me a copy of the birthday invitations where my swan is played! (No worries, royalties will not be charged. Of course any commercial use excluded)
As a birthday present to all cellists these scores will always remain for free.

Georg F. Handel - Silent Worship for 2 to 5 cellos [grading 4 out of 10]
Originally Duett with continuo / orchestra;
arranged for 2 cellos (melody C1/C2) with cello continuo obligato plus 2 cellos for upper (c4) and middle part (c5) of the continuo.
If played with 3 cellos - melodies plus continuo obligato - the continuo sounds better played with the bow.
If played with 5 cellos, all 3 continuo cellos pizzicato.
(Note: last crotchet (1/4) of bar 17 to bar 19 is missing in virtually all movies).
This music is very suitable for groups of students - with the three continuo cellos all plucking away accompanying the 2 melodies.

Archangalo Corelli - Sonata opus 5, No 8 - e minor (originally for violin and harpsichord):
Preludio - Allemande - Sarabande - Gigue
In my opinion this is the most beautiful of the set of 12 violin sonatas op 8.
There exists a transcription for guitar of the harpsichord part by Schaller (Universal Edition, Karl Scheit).
Although the print is very fine, I found the guitar part on the border of ugly and also clumsy to play.
I transcribed the guitar part from scratch; I feel it flows beautiful and is not even harder to play.

For the violin & harpsichord part please click here for a free 19th century edition (Public Domain)

 


The cello continue plays the lowest part of the bass line.

Milan- Pavan 1 (c 1540)
- [grading 4 out of 10]

To the History of TABS (Tabulatures) :
By many Classical players TAB's are today regarded as "amateurish", unprofessional. However, Tabulatures are the original writing for guitar & lute.
This TAB here is a reprint of the original from c 1540!
What we call today our standard music notation is in fact also historically a Tab. It was introduced as a Tab for organ: The notes represent the white keys, any derivation needs an "accidental", a # or b and are the black keys in between . The base for this scale is natural a minor, the letters a - g from the alphabet, the same notes as for C major.
This is also the reason why our standard writing is inconvenient for guitar. Sometimes from one note to the other it's one fret (a semitone), at other times two (a tone). In the standard notation we need to learn the Tab for the white keys of the piano before we can translate the music into "guitar language".
Our symbols for the accidentals b and # and natural are going back to the gothic writing of b and h. The h was the first black key to accomodate our non phrygian scale starting from A, also used in the major scale as the leading note. In fact in Germany the note B represents our Bb, where as the note B is in German still called H. The German notes ABC are the start of a phrygian scale, pointing to the Eastern origin of our scale system.The English system threw the H out altogether (In Westminster Abbey is an early Renaissance painting still showing the scale including the notes B and H pointing out that the letter H for our B of today had been used in Britain as well).

Cello Method

by Georg Mertens

From the Beginning to the Completion of Position 4

( Free downloads )

.

This Cello Method sets the following standard:.
The progression of pieces and exercises in this methyod has been developed over the last 20 years to ensure every new step is prepared.
The talented student might fly through and still enjoy every piece and finds the exercises useful.
The average talented student will enjoy every step and progress gradually from level to level without suddenly experienceing obstacles.
When a student finds an instrument "hard" or finds it difficult from a certain point onwards, it is usually the result of confronting the student with material he/she is not prepared for. In this method has been done everything possisble to avoid these obstacles.

Pieces in this method are accompanied with a second cello - either student & teacher; since cello teachers can primarily play cello, it seemed inappropriate to write accompaniments for piano.

Georg Mertens has been a cello teacher for 35 years. Already during his studies he got hold of every available teaching method and came to the conclusion, that they are without exception relatively poor; they mainly work for students who would learn with any method (or without). Today many new cello methods are often not even based on the teaching of the cello, but are just made up to limp along with other instruments, like violins or even brass.

He started to develop his own method, which has been continuously changed over 20 years to work well for the talented and the less talented student.
Every piece is a musical unit. Exercises are short and to the point.

Major Scale Patterns

Students are usually taught to learn scales one after another, independently, without using any understanding. If they haven't played a scale for a while, they have forgotten it.
But all scales have the same pattern of notes, and of course the finergings will be the same, when they start with the same finger.

Find here the patterns of the fingerings for the major scales. In 1 - 2 weeks students will remember all scales for all times!
