Arthur Cottman: classical repertoire from the TuneViva catalogue

About Arthur Cottman

TuneViva holds 5 scores under Arthur Cottman, and the catalogue does not record a reliable biography for this name. The collection is classical repertoire, so this page describes the scores themselves rather than the person behind them.

The collection runs to about 2 minutes and 874 notated notes. 5 entries sit at complexity index 0, 0 at index 1 and 0 at index 2. 0 scores include lyrics, so the set is useful to singers as well as instrumentalists.

Titles are recorded as uploaded, so the same piece can appear with the composer's name appended or under a different spelling. Check the scoring and editorial marks on each file before printing. The list below links to the most-viewed works, and the related composers share the same broad repertoire. Every entry can be previewed in the browser, transposed into a comfortable key and downloaded as a PDF. MusicXML and MIDI files are available where the uploader provided them, and the score view is rendered from the notation file. The catalogue records duration, note count, track count and complexity for each file, so settings can be compared before opening them. Titles are preserved as uploaded, so the same piece may appear under more than one spelling or with the composer's name appended.

Listening and playing notes

These are notated scores rather than recordings. Expect the texture described by the complexity index: the easiest entries use block chords and a clear melody, while the index-1 and index-2 pieces add passing notes and independent lines. The collection runs to about 2 minutes, so most individual pieces are short. Check the scoring named on the file before printing. The complexity index is a rough proxy for notation density, not a formal grade.
