MUSOPEN : FREE ONLINE CLASSICAL MUSIC
Today I present a new web service that lets you listen and download songs and sheet music for classical music, all free of copyright and therefore legal. MUSOPEN, the name of this service, is very well made, even if only in English. A real online music library available to all lovers of classical music, which are really many. I visited the entire site to find out how it works which is really very simple.
First, accessing the home page, we have three entries links to choose from :
- MUSIC
- SHEET MUSIC
- SHUFFLE
If you access the first entry, we find ourselves in a music collection to choose the work that we want to hear. We can search by composer, by performer, by period or by instrument or musical form (sonata, overture, mazurka, etc. ...). Click on a composer comes out with a brief biography with photos of the musician. Below the list of MP3s you can download, after creating an account for free.
If you click on "SHEET MUSIC" then go to the section where you can make your choice based on composer, instrument, etc. ... and view the sheet music you can download. That is if you happen to be musicians and would like to play the work in question. If you click on "SHUFFLE" button you will be redirected to the page of a composer chosen at random from the database of the site. Each time you click it will upload a different musician with his work, downloadable MP3 or in the form of sheet music.
MUSOPEN promises to become a highly respected online music library as well as many others, with the ability to download MP3s and scores, as well as being able to read the biography of the greatest composers of classical music.
