Resources for poor music students A myriad of free musical scores (some repositories having very limited bandwidth; some dealing only with early or later chamber music; some specifically for pianists). Are the cheap miniature study scores of my youth obsolete? (Mostly PDF, with some Postscript.)

  • Bravo.
  • Great links! Here's another: As a choral director, I've used the Choral Public Domain Library on occasion.

  • Amazingly cool. Having been a poor music student, I always searched (in vain) for these sites. Now, if only I can find some actual MUSICIANS in my area, I'll start playing chamber music again.. *dreams*
  • Dave, it's a pity you're in the antipodes, as my fiddle player and I wish we knew a cellist. Anyway, keep the faith, and for god's sake keep playing -- you'll want those chops again someday.
  • I know you're right, goetter... seems very hard to get time to play, though. Ohwell.. one day! I just have to marry money, methinks ;)
