New - Free Sheet Music Database - input needed

[thebitus]

Hi everybody,
I am putting together a website that has unites the best links to free sheet music in any language. This is a huge project, but I want to help musicians who want to take a look at the score before buying the expensive published hardcopy. Also, I want to stop those people who are making money out of selling .pdf sheet music, when this is available for free download online.

For this, I need a list with websites that have music scores available for free download, but only classical music (no pop or jazz, or any other commercial music). I will check every website personally before I post it in the links section, and also write an abstract (summary) of each website. This way people will be able to go straight to what they are looking for.

I have a huge collection of about 3,000 scores (about 1000 volumes for piano), and I will probably put some sheet music available for download as well. You may view my collection in .pdf format at the following link:

https://www.freewebs.com/bitus82/Partial%20Music%20Scores%20List%20May%2006.pdf

or, you can download it below.

Please post any links that you are aware of, that offer free classical sheet music. Any imput will be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Titus (TheBitus)
