I'm absolutely blown away by people who refuse to actually buy the sheet music of their most beloved composers. It's a way of showing support that what they wrote is worth paying for, and that you respect the time and care they put into jotting down their music on paper.
I'm absolutely blown away by people who refuse to actually buy the sheet music of their most beloved composers. It's a way of showing support that what they wrote is worth paying for, and that you respect the time and care they put into jotting down their music on paper. It genuinely makes me sick. Music is something worth paying for, and every time people don't - you devalue it. I have an entire book case with Schirmer & Henle Verlag urtext editions of Chopin, Mozart... you name it.Easy - one quick Google search. You can buy it from here: https://en.schott-music.com/shop/autoren/einojuhani-rautavaaraor here: https://www.prestomusic.com/sheet-music/composers/8865--rautavaara
This is the second of s total of two forum posts; both have the same type of request: send me a copy of the music you bought so I get it for free.
I'm too a private score collector
Literally, I'll do that, I've bought some sheets before, and gave to many people needed it (i.e) I've even bought sheets just to give it to them, and I've given every single sheet got by negotiating with foundations for a very long time to people who needed at the neck of time. I'm not a person who keeps the sheet like a hunch on their back, like a tortoise shell so selfishlyYou may get me wrong, but that's me.
If you have purchased sheet music that is under copyright, it is not legal for you to photocopy the music and give it away, just as it is not legal for someone here to send you a copy of available music, under copyright. If you don’t care about legality, consider how this is damaging to composers, editors and publishers, as they all need income to produce music.
Also, 15 euros is like 1600 rupees which is somewhat a bigger amount when you depend on your parents for money. Your lifestyle is different from me, so you may feel it's weird. You could've said it nicer just by saying it's not the place to ask copyrighted sheets, but you chose the another way. And I'm the idiot, I accept it, to ask the sheets to these type of bullshits, I apologize for it.
It's an unfortunate situation and I can't pretend that I wouldn't do the same if I was in your position but the truth is there's no way to get these score legally for free unless you can convince the publisher to give you a copy. My only other thought would be to try to convince your university library to purchase copies. At least that way you would have access to them via your university.
Ok seriously, just google. I found every piece of his I'd ever heard of pretty much instantly.It's up to you whether you want to download them...
Keep in mind you are encouraging theft. There's tons of music in the public domain and we do not have the right to steal music that's still under copyright just because we like it.
Blah blah blah, AS IF y'all haven't downloaded so many non-PD scores of PD pieces before imslp, watched it on youtube for years without ads etc. Then you get on PF and get all high and mighty once you get older and presumably have money."Oh, well that's just the only way I could get it back then . . ."He's a broke-ass 19 year old in India. This is how he can get it. Rautavaara was fairly rich, and is decomposing in the ground as of 5 years ago.
You can have my Rautavaara collection as it's bloody rubbish
Hey, did you just addressed me as a 19 year old BROKE-ASS !!!!!!??!!! I'm utterly disappointed with you people, and I'm DONE!!!!!!!
I think you misunderstood. I believe he was defending you. "Broke-ass" is not an insult. It simply means you have little money.
Okay - even I didn't stoop that low. I don't think anyone likes being called poor or implied that they have little money. I was just defending the rights of those who wish to break copyright and download music illegally.
