Classical Scores Library II

A continuation of the ever-popular Classical Scores Library I, Classical Scores Library II focuses on composers such as Claude Debussy, Erik Satie, Giovanni Sammartini, Michael Haydn, and others.  As in the first installment, images of the scores are clear, load quickly, and are faithful reproductions of respected editions.

Based on Professor Richard Greene's excellent site,  "Classical Music Recordings of Black Composers", " Black Composers - Scores" provides links of composers' names to library holdings of scores of Black composers of classical music.  Clicking on a name will yield the composer's scores in Worldcat, the combined online catalogs of thousands of libraries worldwide.  Clicking on the title of a work will show the libraries that own the work.  Musicians wishing to perform a work can check if a local library has the score to a particular work, or request a score on interlibrary loan.  It is our hope that this tool will encourage increasing numbers of performances of this beautiful and overlooked repertoire.  Enjoy!
