Heinrich Scheidemann (c.1595-1663)

German organist and composer who studied with Sweelinck in Amsterdam and then played at St. Catherine's Church in Hamburg for forty years. He was one of the founders of the North German organ school. Reincken, his pupil, succeeded him.

Start with these

The easiest Scheidemann 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 Scheidemann 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.
