Open the sheet music libraryVincenzo Bellini (1801-1835)
Sicilian composer of the bel canto era whose gift was for melody of enormous length, unhurried lines that seem to keep unfolding past the point where another composer would have stopped. Chopin loved him and it shows in the nocturnes. Casta diva from Norma is the piece everybody knows. He died at thirty-three, near Paris, of an intestinal illness, having written ten operas, and the funeral was attended by half the musical establishment of Europe.
Start with these
The easiest Bellini 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 Bellini 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.
