Let me make a few points about this site so that hopefully people will avoid it.1. It is run by a nasty piece of work called Marcel Mombeek ( i am reasonably certain of this) who is notorious in the sheet music world for trawling sites like pianophilia and gamingforce and downloading sheets for nothing. This vile dweeb then tries to sell other peoples work for absurd prices. He has even tried to sell digital scores made available by the University of Rochester.2. I have never got any scores from him, but he has in the past tried to sell scores that i have scanned. Why would i use him when my own library extends to 179,000 scores.3. I absolutely assure you that he has nothing that cannot be obtained via other sources for FREE.4. He has even tried selling Sorabji scores and if memory serves, AH had trouble in getting him to stop.5. There is no need to use him or other E Bay tossers trying to sell digital scores.DO NOT USE IT, EVERYTHING CAN BE OBTAINED FOR FREE.End of sermon.Thal
I do wonder: when you get the PDFs, will they come complete with stamped markings saying eg "Univiersity of Indiana Library" and someone's fingerings written over them or have they tidied them up?
Hmm... but where are the most interesting old editions of all - old Bach editions? He's not even on their list.Walter Ramsey

my faith has been restored.
only by hard work is anything good attained.
i was hoping that the british museum music library entered the picture here somewhere too. i know library of congress is or used to be a good site here. everybody and their uncle are after money now. sometimes you have to literally walk somewhere and not rely on the internet. estate sales. flea markets. sales at music stores of old scores. i think thal does this. am hoping to visit an antique bookstore tommorrow.
I don;t know what LOC charge for copies of items.

(Baggins Book Bazaar) is only 5 miles from me. This is where i get the bulk of my scores and it is amazing what you can pick up.
Neither do i, since they have never responded to my requests for the Leschetizky Concerto.Thal
I did get a copy old chap, but not from the LOC.Thal
The site should be closed and the owner is a prize wanker.Thal
