Yeah.  That site's been around forever.  But just recently people are starting to upload things to it like crazy.

Another thing, this is by far the best site I've seen for the Scarlatti sonatas:

https://pianosociety.com/cms/index.php?section=148

It even has the chart at the bottom of all of the Kirkpatrick/Longo numbering systems.  Really usefull.

It has been around for a while now, but seems to be growing faster.

Still rather on the small side, but looks good for the future.

This is a great resource fo sho

however a sidentoe about this edition of Mozart sonatas:



It would be morally wrong to use any of these to actually learn the piece

regardless of the already large number of wrong notes and misprints and editor changes, there is also passages of 2 or more bars at parts where it is written in the wrong octave etc.

for example if you were to perform the 310 2nd movement as is written in this score you would be doing at least 99 (i counted; there might be more) things Mozart did not write.

good site for sheetmusic though as i said earlier

respect

EDIT: 100 - this isn't even wrong articulation like accents or bizzare phrasing or grace note-to-eighth written as 2 16ths. This is all out 100 incidents of incorrect notes, missing notes, lack of or added ornamentation, rolling non-rolled chords, not rolling rolled chords
