legal music collection
on: September 28, 2005, 02:35:44 PM
What percentaje of your classical music collection is legally purchased?  :-X :-X

In my case, i like to buy original CDs. But i admit that nowadays, with tons of free (and ilegal) music available to download on the net, the temptation is unavoidable.

I like original CD's too, so I am happy to pay.

Then I don't feel bad about the 300,000 piano sheets i have collected.

If I really really like the performance, I'll buy the CD.  I used to buy a lot more than I do now. 

However almost all my scores are bought, I dislike working from photocopies or loose sheets of music.  I love books and collecting them, so naturally I prefer working from them instead of photocopies. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

At his point my classical selection is 100% legit and purchased by yours truly.....

If you ask about my Jimmy Buffet collection...well...I plead the 5th.

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
