Classical Melodies in All Key Signatures for Mandolin: Volume 1 of 5

As a musician, one is often told to learn in all keys, so I have taken some of history’s most important music and have put it in every key signature ~ up to 6 flats and 7 sharps.While a beginning musician may use this book, this is not a book for beginners, nor is it a method book of any sort. If you are just starting to read standard notation, you will benefit greatly from my book: 200 Easy Sight Reading Studies for Mandolin. It is available at the Robert Anthony Publishing website, or search here on Amazon.The purpose of this book is to train your reading and aural skills, all while perhaps expanding your familiarity with repertoire from all periods of Classical Music. Some of the music gets quite demanding and expands the range to the edge of what the instrument is capable of.Allegro, TurkAndante, TurkDialogue, BartokPavaneMusic Box, GurlittScherzo, GurlittDance, BartokInterlude, BischoffOde to Joy, BeethovenCarefree, TurkMinuet, TelemannSummer Song, LiadovMinor Etude, KöhlerThe Cello, SpindlerRussian Folk Song, BeethovenDreams, SpindlerAndante, SorLullaby, BrahmsThe Ash GroveRussian Folk Song, BeethovenNocturne, ChopinSonatina, LatourWaltz, DiabelliMinuet, L.
