So you're only posting them for download, and not viewing (without download) too? Nevertheless, I look forward to seeing Scherzo fantastique and Histoire du Soldat.

Not in the sense that IMSLP supports, no. They'll be available in a single archive file which must be download and decompressed for the contents to be viewable.

Outstanding. The only thing I notice missing from your list is the little "Song of the Volga Boatmen" - an arrangement for wind ensemble made as a proposed Russian national anthem for the provisional government of 1917. It was issued by Chester in 1920 and reprinted by Kalmus (A5266).

Forgot to include that on the list--fixed. It'll be present in the archive also.

Where on IMSLP will this be? A separate page titled...what?

It won't be on IMSLP. I will post a link on this forum to a 3rd party hosting site in the US containing the archive.

Hmmm, what about the 1919 version of Firebird?

I'll most likely post this as one RAR archive rather than separate files, that is until we get our US server up and running again.

As it stands now, only the Dover reprinted Firebird will be included. I'll probably add the 1919 version and the suite when our US server comes online.

The 1912 (?) suite, right? Forgot about that one. IIRC, he made actual orchestration changed in 1919 (and 1945) which he didn't in the first suite.

The Igor Stravinsky project is now complete and online.

There are two RAR archives--the ballet full scores (Firebird, Petrushka and Rite of Spring) and the remainder of the works as listed in the first post.

Once again as a reminder, these works are hosted in the U.S. and are only public domain there. Please know and respect the copyright laws of your own country before downloading. Neither myself nor IMSLP can or will be held responsible in any way for copyright violations.

With that said, enjoy....:

Thank you very much, but for some reason, Adobe Acrobat isn't opening the file, so could you try to upload in possible .zip format?
