Urtext editions of Albinoni's Op. 8

Re: Upcoming changes

The fact that it is considered an "insult" to the music world that IMSLP does not have financial stability shows the importance of IMSLP, importance that one should be able to leverage for donations. Again, nothing as far as I can tell is known about IMSLP's financials. If you, Edward, cou...

Days where I do not look at least one score on the site are few and far between. In addition to its value to performers, many musicologists like me, as well as compo...
