Arrangements and re-editions
Re-editions or arrangements, these works are the result of fifty years of harp playing alongside a wide range of classical musicians — accordion, horn, and of course violin, cello, flute, and voice.
Harpist Sophie Clavel shares with you her arrangements, adapted from piano scores or orchestral reductions. Each piece has been thoroughly performed and refined until fingerings and pedal changes no longer present any challenge to the harpist.
Thanks to these arrangements, well-known composers can now be included in harp concert programs. You will also discover harp solos that are rarely played or heard.
Our music sheets will be sent to you by mail (pdf) after payement. Please contact: clavelmusic@gmail.com
Thank you
