Works for an Unaccompanied Instrument
I had been meaning to get around to creating pages for music literature. There are such documents sitting on my machine, unfinished. Given the COVID-19 outbreak, many people find themselves in need of unaccompanied music. Here is some to get you started. (I have not yet included music for keyboard, as most people have an abundance of music for solo keyboard)
It should be noted that although I organized some of these by instrument, many of the works can be played by other instruments.
