My Second Favorite Website Closes

25 October 2007

The International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP) has closed its doors following legal warnings by Universal Edition.  It will be missed.  It was just a nice resource to have around whenever hearing a particular solo or passage in a piece inspired me to examine the manuscript in closer detail.  I understand UE’s concern, but I don’t think I or any of the other IMSLP users ever took advantage of the scores in the same way that the vast majority of Internet users take advantage of unlawfully distributed music and film.

This ain’t no tirade, kiddies; I’m just a little sad to see it go.
