Title: Frits Koeberg: Pastorale (1899)
Post by: violinconcerto on Thursday 28 January 2016, 20:02
For those who are interested in score reading and a small Andante in full romantic approach, I can announce that I wrote the manuscript of the "Pastorale for small orchestra with oboe obliagto" (1899) by Frits Koeberg (1876-1961) into a computer program and created a pdf-score which is now available from my website. You can find more information on Frits Koeberg on the Dutch Wikipedia page:

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frits_Koeberg (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frits_Koeberg)

and the score at my website: http://www.tobias-broeker.de (http://www.tobias-broeker.de)

Best,
Tobias

Hi Tobias, thanks for making these works available! I had never heard of Koeberg, to be honest, and he doesn't seem to be very well-represented in standard works on Dutch music.


Also, I downloaded the violin concerto encyclopedia (and would advise anyone to do likewise), which is a very (!) complete piece of work (even if my PDF reader on the iPad has some trouble handling its 2700+ pages... ahem). I'm sure it will be of tremendous use to many of us.

(I'm thinking of deleting the "PDF reader" program and just going with the "Kindle" App, which is a much more robust reader of PDFs on the iPhone and perhaps on the iPad as well.  Will have a look at the intriguing aforementioned encyclopedia...)

Hello Ilja,

thanks for your kind words about my encyclopedia and that you value the scores on my website as well! I soon will present two romantic American violin concertos which are in my possession, the Ernest Schuyten and Charles Francis Hamlin ones (and of course I am prouder to present these works of course as they correspond to my book). So check my website from time to time.

Best,
Tobias
