Beethoven for Harp

A series of compositions by famous Romantic-era composer Ludwig van Beethoven arranged for intermediate or intermediate-advanced pedal harp by Daniel Burton. The work of Beethoven is very harmonically complex and piano-based which often means it is inaccessible to harpists. These transcriptions are comfortably idiomatic for harp while preserving the original beauty of Beethoven's unique compositional style.

Thorough book for the beginning celtic harpist

Jo Morrison put together this book specifically for her adult beginner students and those like them.

The second is in a different tuning, and is played slightly faster. Notes on the pieces, as well as suggestions for teachers are included. 132 pages.
