Where can I go to get scores and recordings?   Cheaply?  And hopefully fast, if not instant?

I see discussions that look interesting and I have no clue what the music is that they talk about.  I would like to listen and play through some of the pieces just to get an idea of what those pieces are.

I know pf has scores and some recordings.

There's a sheetmusicarchive I think that has been mentioned.

Where else can you go for quick and easy music -- scores and recordings?

I have learned it is unwise to mention other Forums where illegal activity may take place.

eMule had a nice collection, but it's pretty difficult to find anything now Razorback2 (biggest eMule server ever) has been taken offline by belgian police.

www.pianosheets.org has a good collection.

Ahh! I lost the URL for one of the really good ones. I'ts not the russian one, it's the one that you can only download 2 a day from.  Anyone know the site?  Or have the 1st toe part of Cappriccio on the Departure of a most beloved brother? (Bach)
