I'm looking to purchase sheet music from Bruno Mars's for my quartet. Any suggestions? I've been looking online but haven't found much.
Specifically, "Marry You," and "Just the Way You Are."
Thanks!
For most pieces of music it's quite easy to find a MIDI file online, import it into Sibelius or similar software, then arrange for quartet (Sibelius even has an 'arrange' function that does some of the work for you). It probably only takes a couple of hours.
BUT... you'll often find someone has been there first - for example in this case, "Just the way you are" is listed at Popped String - and as they're charging only US$10, it's seldom worth reinventing the wheel unless you really enjoy doing this (or it's one of those few pieces that hasn't yet been arranged).
Googling finds several options for the other one too, some of which look as though they may even be free.
