Collecting Vintage Music?

on: March 14, 2022, 12:32:44 PM

Hey all! I've recently taken interest in vintage piano music. Does anyone here collect any or have any advice on how to?

What do you mean by vintage piano music? Like old pieces? Like... Beethoven's sonatas?

Ah interesting. There are some scans of first editions on IMSLP. As for physical copies, you'll have to get lucky. A few years ago our local music library was throwing out a bunch of old stuff, and I got my hands on a bunch of beautiful editions from the 1800s of both well known and forgotten music, with embossing and gold letters and color illustrations and all sorts of neat stuff. It's now gathering dust in a corner of my music room, but still, neat to have!
