Possible to download all of one composer's works here?

[Bob]

As opposed to downloading individual files?  Is there a way to get all of one composer's pieces here in one shot?  A zip file?

At the moment that's not possible.
We want to offer the piano music database/search feature, the sheet music files and the recordings as one single unit.
There are already good registers of piano repertoire (at least in book form), recordings (Itunes, Amazon, Naxos etc.) and sheet music of low to decent quality available on the Internet but we belive that the combination of all these three parts in one unit to be extremely useful for piano teachers, students or anyone researching the piano litterature.
We want people to use our database, not just download a bounce of zipped pdfs.

The only reason we see for having all files on your hard drive is that it's practical for those having dial up connections but if that's the case, it would be problematic to download 7 Gb of files. Because of this we consider offering all files on DVD's in the future.

Unless one plans to print and play through all 2249 pieces (which would take a considerable part of one's remaining life time  ) what are the reasons for downloading ALL files?

For me, I'm a collector. It's great when I hear a piece unfamiliar to me and am able to pull up the sheet music on the spot.

I don't mind individual downloads as I rename all the files anyway.

Sight reading.  I need a bigger screen though.

Or just reference.  It's nice to have them all in one place like that.  Esp when you can't get online.


And that obsessive-compulsive need to collect them all.
