Open the sheet music libraryGiuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)
Italian composer of twenty-eight operas and the closest thing the nineteenth century had to a national hero: crowds chanted his name in the street as a coded call for Italian unification. He lost his wife and both children in the space of two years as a young man and nearly stopped composing altogether. Late in life he built and endowed a rest home in Milan for musicians who had run out of money, and said, with everything else he had done, that it was the finest work he had ever accomplished.
Start with these
The easiest Verdi 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 Verdi 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.
