For all you funky hipsters out thee you can now get Mozart's entire musical score free, gratis and for nothing on the Interweb


[ur=http://dme.mozarteum.at/]I's the Barenreiter edition and online here dme.mozarteum.at[/url]

It may be down due to high demand but they're sorting out more serverspace and all that techno-garble

Far from me to be the first to say Zoo...Is this stuff out of copyright yet?
This could cause a thread, my fave Mozart "groove" is number 40, how ironic it is that all these years down the line, with the older(deceased) writers numbering their work with a binary code, as opposed to a title, that we now are back to using numbers on our I-pods and cd players without reading what the track is called?
Girls Aloud 7, fills the floor everytime, as does Beatles Past Masters 4.
Beethovens 5th, hmmm, still needs work on the backbeats:woohoo:

Some editions are copyright

The Barenreiter edition that's free is (apparently) one of the best. Though what differs from edition to edition I have no idea.

All I know is that at least one person is happy they don't have to spend 120 Euros on the sheet music.

Talk about relying on a back catalogue

We travelled the 4 miles to the place where we get our equipment serviced this morning, which took an hour as allways, and passed the shop where I used to buy my music for teaching purposes, and it occured to me, that unless they go online they are the next small business in the trade to go out of business due to legal downloading. The first downloadable sheet music (which you had to buy) on the net, that I found, was by Joe Jackson of all people.
The cabinet to my left here, is filled with music written out for many acts I have been involved in over the years, by many different people, but less and less musicians read anymore and in the situation of a pop/rock act, the audience don`t want, or need to see it.
For any interested music theoriests, I buy trombone music books and play it on my double bass as a hobby.
Hmmmmm, no hits there methinks!
