More recordings with sheet music here?

on: August 06, 2008, 01:53:21 PM

Probably a long shot for an idea.

Maybe for every piece, a recording? I see many have recordings, but not all.

I wonder if it's possible to include just a clip of the opening. Or a link to a free site, if that exists.

Or something like a discography or people's favorite recordings of that piece, with the manufacturer ID so it's easier to find.

I was just browsing through and found it nice to be able to hear the pieces like that. Makes it easier to learn the rep and pick pieces.

I'm guessing that's a pretty tall request though.

Maybe try checking Amazon for samples? All the pieces in this library (or most) are pretty standard repertoire and should be relatively easy to find there or for download somewhere else (free or not).
