IMSLP Forums

The idea of merging has been explored in the past, and I think the main problem was that CPDL hosts its contents under a copyright license (GNU GPL) that IMSLP doesn't have. Another consideration is that the two websites support different kinds of files, and the overall structure is really quite dif...

CLICK HERE TO WATCH Almost ten years ago, IMSLP started with a passion of giving the world access to music. We believe that all people, no matter their background, should have the chance to connect with one of the greatest treasures of humanity. Now that IMSLP has over 300,000 music scores and reco...

Great idea! I will volunteer, of course!

Hi everyone! I would like to announce a couple of exciting additions to IMSLP that will come to fruition within the next couple of years. 1. "Open Minds" - On behalf of IMSLP, I would like to welcome everyone to a new creative effort - a series of conversations entitled "Open Minds&qu...

I think this is good news. I've always suspected that IMSLP would eventually become an authority on music. We are becoming so expansive that serious musicological research can be done here. Right now IMSLP is mostly used for finding scores, but I don't see why it can't be so much more. I'm working o...

Hi, Everybody - Happy New Year. It is very exciting that we have over 300,000 scores now to be used for free by the public. All of our contributors deserve applause for creating something so unique and diverse for the world. I attend Florida State University, and even though we are no longer reignin...

I'm not really suggesting to make a new category for notturnos, but the 18th century notturno is really signifigantly closer to the "serenade" genre than the 19th century "Nocturne" genre. It's unforunate that the terms are so similar but reflect entirely different genres.

May be true, although I assure you that the genres are very different things.

This may be true, although we have deviated from MLA before. And I'm not sure that MLA decision is the most well considered; they really are not the same thing.

We currently label the 18th century 'notturnos' as 'nocturnes', but they are not typically the same genre. The notturno is much closer to a serenade (and the terms were often used interchangeably in the 18th century), while the term "nocturne" as first used by John Field and later by Chopi...

If the conference next year is in New York, I suspect that some IMSLP representatives (including myself) would like to go. IMSLP is really shaping the way people think of music categorization and copyright around the world.
