Since 1992, ARPEGE MUSIC develops a range of music software (Pizzicato) to satisfy most beginner and professional musicians.  It focuses on easy music notation and intuitive music composition tools.

Our presence on the Internet helped us to reach more than 10000 users in 80 different countries.  Since a few years, we have a dealer network of about 80 music stores in France, Belgium and Switzerland, as well as representatives in the USA, Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain.

We are now in the phase of establishing international distribution.  We specifically search for companies that can localize the products and/or distribute them in their countries.

Strangely enough, despite the number of music software on the market, our music software have something quite special that users really appreciate. If you are interested in adding our Pizzicato software to your market, please contact us.

Our ultimate software philosophy for music applications is that music should be easily learned, written, practiced and/or composed by everyone, from the very beginner to the advanced orchestral music composer.

Therefore, all our software contain a full music course, so that even with no knowledge of music, everyone can start making his own music.

On the other hand, advanced and innovative tools are developed and provided for those who know more about music and for beginners who, by using our step by step music course, reach more advanced levels of music knowledge.

The main difference with other music software is that we develop innovative tools to really help people compose their own music more intuitively.

The concept of intuitive composition is very simple: to be able to compose music based on the power of choice and not on a deep music theory knowledge.

The overall purpose of music composition may be expressed as follows: to select THE combination of notes/rhythms/chords/sounds taken from the infinity of possibilities, that will satisfy the effect you want to achieve, the feelings you want to express in your music.

If the beginner has a lack of knowledge, and the professional composer a lack of time, they can both use tools to make it easier and speed up the search for musical solutions. These tools should:

- Help them examine (listen to) numerous possibilities, easily and rapidly
- Enable them to sort out solutions by given criteria to orient the search
- Not depend on the user's music theory knowledge
- Be easy to learn and to use

This kind of approach is used in the intuitive composition tools offered by the Pizzicato music software line of products.

After many years of development, Pizzicato is a software that is well appreciated by all kinds of users. We will continue to develop it, with a very clear purpose in mind: "To make music and music composition available to everyone" and we will continue to do our best to create an ideal music notation and composition software.
