available in Tecla as downloadable files, as follows.
Andante (Haydn), for violoncello and
guitar
An unbelievably fine
and sophisticated transcription of the second movement of Haydn’s string quartet
op. 33 no 6. Degen transcribes music very
freely, as did most of the romantic composers. He transcribes the original
music into a style of his own. As in all Degen’s transcriptions, the
guitar part is for the seven-string guitar.
Includes score and parts for
guitar and violoncello.

the beginning of the score.
Blandt
bjergene, op. 19 ("among the mountains"),
for violoncello and guitar
This is an
outstanding composition for cello and guitar. Truly romantic program
music, very inspired by the program music of Coste, and always with a touch of
his teacher J. P. E. Hartmann. As in all Degen’s compositions, the
guitar part is for the seven-string guitar.
Includes score and parts for
guitar and violoncello.

the beginning of the score.
Larghetto (Mozart), for violoncello and
guitar
An unbelievably fine
and sophisticated transcription of the second movement of Mozart’s
clarinet quintet no. 1, K 581.Degen
transcribes music very freely, as did most of the romantic composers. He
transcribes the original music into a style of his own. As in all Degen’s
transcriptions, the guitar part is for the seven-string guitar.
Includes score and parts for
guitar and violoncello.
See the beginning of the score.
Meditation (Gounod/Bach), for violoncello
and guitar
This is a very fine
transcription of the Ave Maria. Degen’s fingering for the guitar is very
interesting and unorthodox and tells us how developed his guitar playing
must have been. Even though this is written for the seven-string guitar,
it is not a problem to play the transcription on the six-string guitar.
Includes score and parts for
guitar and violoncello.
See the beginning of the score.
Melodic waltz, op. 16, for violoncello
and guitar
A relatively small
piece for cello and guitar, very romantic and written with a true sense of
the sonority of the cello and the wonderful melodies it can produce.As in all Degen’s compositions,
the guitar part is for the seven-string guitar.
Includes score and parts for
guitar and violoncello.

the beginning of the score.
Ständchen (Schubert), for violoncello
and guitar
A popular piece for
guitar and violoncello. Degen transcribes music very freely, as did most
of the romantic composers. He transcribes the original music into a style
of his own. As in all Degen’s transcriptions, the guitar part is for the
seven-string guitar.
