Open the sheet music libraryAnatoly Lyadov (1855-1914)
Russian miniaturist with an exquisite ear and a legendary reluctance to finish anything, which cost him a place in history: offered the commission for The Firebird, he took so long to start that Diaghilev gave it to a young Stravinsky instead. What he did write is small, fastidious and often very beautiful, folk tales and musical snapshots a few minutes long. He taught at the St Petersburg Conservatory, where Prokofiev found him exasperating and learned a great deal.
Start with these
The easiest Lyadov 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 Lyadov 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.
