    Hello harp people,
    Does anyone know of some classical repertoire for the low intermediate harpist. (I play pedal harp)
    Not solo pieces, but chamber music with a harp part. I like to be challenged but something that I can still manage to learn in a few months.
    I have friends who play a lot of different instruments, so it can pretty have any instrument. I’m just so tired of playing solo!
    Oh yeah, and any era,
    Thanks for the help 🙂

    The Swan by Saint-Saens can be played with just harp and cello. It has been transcribed for violin or flute, as well. Also, there is a lovely piece by Villa Lobos called the Song of the Black Swan, which was his response to The Swan by Saint-Saens.
