A fox went out sheet music for voice and piano

A nice and funny children folk song for voice and piano. It can be easily performed by young musicians. No need to play it very fast - the main thing is that a performer can clearly pronounce all the words and sing the melodic line correctly. The lyrics is funny, so feel free to tell the story to your audience with full colour. :) If you enjoy the music, your audience will for sure enjoy it too! More free sheet music is coming soon.

Funny bear orchestra (advertisement for Victoria Bitter)

What an amazing idea! Well, musicians love to make fun and from what I know, the orchestral musicians - especially... Besides of the cool video, the music is not bad at all. And the only question I have watching this performance: do they really play it somehow, or just pretending to perform? I think, second is the most possible answer. What do you think?

Life of Mozart by O. Jahn. I. Childhood: L. Mozart's Violin Method - 2 part


Three clavier sonatas are printed,13 of which Faiszt remarks that they might well be the work of Leopold's great son, so strong is their similarity in form and spirit.14 His compositions were for the most part only in manuscript, as was almost all the music of that day.15 By way of practice in engraving, he engraved three trio sonatas himself in 1740, and revived the old accomplishment in 1778, when he engraved some variations for his son.

Life of Mozart by O. Jahn. I. Childhood: L. Mozart's Violin Method - 1 part

We have no detailed information of L. Mozart's youthful life. His recollections of his position at Augsburg are bitter and sarcastic. Even with his brothers and sisters, whom he accused of having turned the weakness of their mother to his disadvantage, he had no close or intimate connection, although they had never any scruples in applying for his support.

Mozart. A Musical Joke K.522 full score

Ein musikalischer Spaß in German.
This is a sheet music of a full score of the divertimento for two horns and string quartet written in 1787. The composition consists of many places which are written in a way, as if it were composed by incompetent composer. Some gaffes in harmony and rythm, for example. But, as everything by Mozart, the music is just amazing - light and clear.

Life of Mozart by O. Jahn. I. Childhood



Wolfgang Amade Mozart came of a family belonging originally to the artisan class. We find his ancestors settled in Augsburg early in the seventeenth century, and following their calling there without any great success.1 His grandfather, Johann Georg Mozart, a book binder, married, October 7, 1708, Anna Maria Peterin, the widow of another bookbinder, Augustin Banneger.2 From this union sprang two daughters and three sons, viz.: Fr. Joseph Ignaz, Franz Alois (who carried on his father's trade in his native town), and Johann Georg Leopold Mozart, born on November 14, 1719, the father of the Mozart of our biography.3 Gifted with a keen intellect and firm will he early formed the resolution of raising himself to a higher position in the world than that hitherto occupied by his family; and in his later years he could point with just elation to his own arduous efforts, and the success which had crowned them, when he was urging his son to the same steady perseverance.

Life of Mozart by O. Jahn. Translator's note


CONSIDERABLE doubt has existed in the mind of the translator as to the proper English equivalent for the word "clavier" throughout this work. Clavier is a generic term in German, and is used to denote any keyed instrument, whether harpsichord, clavichord, or pianoforte. Mozart's compositions for the clavier are equally available for all these instruments, and in his early years he performed indifferently on the harpsichord or clavichord. His first introduction to the pianoforte was at Augsburg, in 1777, and he did not become familiar with the instrument until after his settlement in Vienna in 1781.
