Internet Music Score Library Project has thousands of classical scores
A young Canadian composer studying law at Harvard University has created an online music score library for thousands of pieces of classical music.
Edward Guo is revolutionizing how sheet music is distributed with the Internet Music Score Library Project (IMSLP).Guo was 18 years old, studying law and composing music on the side, when he first got the idea. He recalls how little sheet music was available when he was a boy first studying music in China.
The IMSLP makes it possible to download classical scores, from Mozart to Beethoven to Tchaikovsky, for free. About 100,000 works are available online on wiki media software.
Guo has made no money from the IMSLP project and says he is just one of a team that makes the scores available. He said he gets personal satisfaction from the thought that so many people have access to beautiful music.
