In a previous post, we told you of a site where you can download all of Mozart’s music for free.
Well, here is another site that offers a more limited, but still free selection of sheet music downloads from various composers, from Bach to Stravinsky. The scores are public domain editions of the music, which are out of copyright and are therefore free. When you download and print the scores, you’ll notice that the quality isn’t perfect. Notes may be a little pixelated, or the staff may not be perfectly aligned with the paper. This is normal for public domain editions of scores. But if you’re not picky, it’s certainly playable and worth the price.
It appears that the site is supported by advertisements, but they also sell a CD version of all their sheet music for $19.95, which may be useful since you are restricted to 2 downloads per day.
