Short and Sweet collections consist of sets
of full
arrangements
organized in useful sets. Each collection includes separate
versions
for pedal and lever harp when appropriate. In some instances, pieces
are offered in transposed keys for harps without full
levers. Because the editors feel it is easier to add fingerings you
need than to remove fingerings you do not need, few are included in
these arrangements. Lever changes are always indicated, pedal changes
are sometimes indicated. Short and Sweet music includes only
transcriptions
and were originally designed for use outdoors so there are no pages
turns
and when ever
possible, arrangements fit on one page. Own them all, print
only
what you need.
Before purchasing, please download one of our samples to be
sure you
can print properly. If printing from the browser window fails, try
downloading the file to your hard drive.
