Arpeggione | repertoire

Since Staufer arpeggione invention, only Schubert arpeggione sonata
and a H.A. Birnbach arpeggione concerto (lost) have been composed.

Other music played on arpeggione at that time are arrangments made by
arpeggione players from music by Diabelli, Romberg, Burgmuller, Spohr,
or can be other original scores unknown to us or lost.

Several new compositions have been inspired by Nicolas Deletaille's arpeggione
in the 21st Century.
