Classical Scores Library

We have access until November 10 to "Classical Scores Library," an online collection of scores available at the Music Online site (the home of four of our streaming audio databases -- Classical Music Library, Smithsonian Global Sound, American Song, and Contemporary World Music).

Please take some time to browse and test this resource. It is expensive, but there appears to be a one-time funding possibility for acquiring it. I would very much appreciate any feedback regarding the value of this resource (once all of the content has been loaded) to your teaching and research.

The vendor has told me that each score will soon have a link to "available recordings" so that one may play the corresponding audio (in Classical Music Library) while reading the score. However, there appears to be a technical problem with that right now.

To get to the resource, I suggest that you go to:
and then click on any of the links that say "Also available at Music Online."

Thank you,

Paul Machlis
