Editions by Dean Crocker
Click on a title to audition the music.
I was blessed (or cursed) to inherit several big piles of really old sheet music. Some of the pieces are quite excellent; many were a waste of paper the day they were printed. The original copies are in terrible condition; many of the pieces are difficult to obtain today. There are also many copies of old (frequently inaccurate and hard to read) editions available on the internet. I offer clean, new “engravings” that attempt to conform to current notational practice. I have corrected obvious mistakes, yet tried to stay true to the content of the original documents.
To the best of my knowledge, all of the music listed on this page is in the public domain in the United States of America. I can not guarantee it to be in the public domain elsewhere. I include known publication information. If this music is not in the public domain under the law where you live, then do not download it!
