Arrangements of Classical Music

The beginning of these activity was motivated by making our repertoire for flute and piano music more interesting and unique.
The music writing software “encore” that I used during the years making music together with Thomas Turner does no longer exist. Only this year I succeeded to transcribe my sheet music to the more common and powerful software “Sibelius”.
Too, because of my poor vision I had since many years given up playing flute or piano myself.

So I have decided to concentrate most recently on composition.
There exist several quite interesting pieces of classical music, which were not finished by their great composers to the highest level of perfection, for whatever reason.
My arrangments of several such pieces are published as sheet music at the website of sheetmusicplus:

and the website of sheetmusicdirect:

of sheetmusicplus and sheetmusicdirect.

Too, the most remarkable pieces are gathered in two albums
that are available on http://www.bandcamp.com. There included some comments on the music in the two albums.

“My Collection of Music I Mostly Baroque”

“My Collection of Music II: Mostly Classic”

Please allow me, dear reader, with honesty and caution to en with the following remarks.
In most of the links above , I refer to quite distant and disjoint parts of my life.
I am including many years, if not decades, during which the concentration was on only one of the above mentioned activities.
Everything else would have been beyond my abilities.

All these activities have been pursued not only from intrinsic motivation, but also because of the strict limitations
enforced by the age and health, both on my pianist friend Thomas Turner, and myself having severe vision problems.
I have to destroy the illusion of a magic abilities to easily move from one topic to another.
Currently, even the consolidation and gathering of all efforts makes more pain than I would have expected.
