German composer and conductor who wrote around three thousand songs and choral pieces. Songs like Agathe, known in English as When the Swallows Homeward Fly, were sung in parlours everywhere in the nineteenth century. He spent most of his career as court conductor in Brunswick.
Start with these
The easiest Abt on the shelf, in order. Nothing here is graded and nobody is ranked: the shelf simply puts the pieces that ask less of your hands before the ones that ask more.
How the reader works
Each score opens as engraved notation you can read from the stand, and it plays: hear the piece first, then slow it down and loop the bar that is not working. There is nothing to install and no account to make. When you want paper, print it.
Every file is MusicXML, so MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale and Dorico open them too.
Where to go next
If you are learning Abt rather than only reading, the scale pages cover fingering in every key, the chord pages spell out every chord, and the symbol dictionary explains any mark on the page you do not recognise.
