Music Request
on: December 13, 2008, 10:36:28 PM
I would firstly like to apologise for the vast amount of music I am requesting!

I have been discovering a lot more about classical music in the past few months, and have been trying to extend my repertoire of playing and listening to things to other than what I usually would. I have found many interesting pieces, and have downloaded the scores off the internet for them. I am now starting to look at some more obscure music, but I can't find anywhere to download them from. (There are some more common pieces as well which I want, but for some reason I can't find them). I would be hugely greatful if you could upload even a few of these.

Many thanks,

Joe Wallace

You should be able to find most/all of it here:

Prokofiev and Sibelius are probably under copyright and some Rachmaninoff aswell.

Yeh, i think it wise to visit imslp first and then come back with a revised list, minus the copyrighted ones.

Sorry, I didn't explain it as good as I should have. I have already visited IMSLP to find these scores, but they either are not on there, or are blocked for some reason.

Which ones do you think are copyrighted? I thought I had seen Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev posted on here before, and those and Sibelius are available on the IMSLP.

By the way, the piano transcription of Beethoven's violin concerto is the one which Beethoven arranged himself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_61a_(Beethoven))

Many thanks,

I have acquired most of the scores from the earlier list via e-mail, but I still have a few left. I would be thankful if someone would be able to upload these ones.
Please tell me if there is anything I can do to help  :)

Many thanks,

Joe Wallace

Generally a composer is under copyright infringement until 80 years after his/her death. Perhaps it´s 80 years after the work was written, I´m not sure. The amount of years also varies from country to country. I know Sweden and US have different laws ie.
