Launched in 2006, the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) aims “to gather all public domain music scores in addition to the music scores of all contemporary composers (or their estates) who wish to release them to the public free of charge.” Because IMSLP is a public wiki-based project, the quality of individual scans and editions is highly variable. IMSLP seeks to adhere to Canadian copyright law, so you should be certain that any scores that you use from the site are in the public domain in the United States. |
