Harp Tuesday

I’ve been very remiss about posting new Harp Tuesday episodes here.  Just uploaded Episode 81 (playing with other people): And here’s the rest of the episodes since my last update here:

I continue my look at Dalvimare’s Air and Variations aka Variations sur un theme de Mozart with a short video on variation 4:   Sheet music can be found on IMSLP

I’m looking at Dalvimare’s Air and Variations AKA Variations sur un theme de Mozart I learned this piece as “Variations sur un theme de Mozart“, playable on the Celtic harp and edited by O. le Dentu. However, it turns out it may have nothing to do with Mozart! Thanks to a youtube comment I found

Hi all, I’ve been super busy – which is good, but means I’ve fallen behind on Harp Tuesday episodes!  Fingers crossed that I managed to get a new one out this week; in the meantime, here’s one that I forgot to post on my blog: Harp Tuesday episode 73 – a look at the ending

A look at my very simple arrangement of the first movement from Mozart’s Sonata No. 11.  Even though there may not be a lot of notes to play, there’s still a lot to think about in terms of phrasing! You can download the free PDF of the arrangement here.

A look at accompanying and improvising!  I use Auld Lang Syne as the example piece – download the lead sheet here.

In this new episode of Harp Tuesday I figure out a way to play Bach’s “Prelude No. 1” on the lever harp. Watch the short recap video, or the longer “as it happens” version: Sheet music can be found here.
