Classics at Your Fingertips Julietta Rabens

"Classics at Your Fingertips" is a series for introducing harp to adult beginners. Book 5 accompanies Technique at Your Fingertips Book 5 which focuses on early advanced level classical repertoire etc. The repertoire selected includes transcriptions from piano, guitar, and cello classical repertoire, including works by historical women composers. The arrangement have focused primarily on making it possible to play these on lever harp, but these include pedal markings as well. Some of the choices of note division between the hands reflects the requirements of the lever harp. Some of the works here have not yet been transcribed for lever harp, so it is adding to the advanced repertoire of the instrument and pushes the boundaries of what is possible to play.
