Welcome to the portal page of the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP)! We at the IMSLP believe that music should be something that is easily accessible for everyone. For this purpose we have created a music library to provide music scores free of charge to anyone with internet access, with several other projects in planning. IMSLP is also entirely collaborative, and all contributions are greatly welcome.
The Petrucci Music Library is an internet-based collaborative music score library, and is currently the main project. You will find tens of thousands of scores composed by thousands of composers here, all available for free download.
The IMSLP Forums is where IMSLP contributors and users ask questions and discuss various topics. Please read the Rules thread at the top of the corresponding forum before posting, if applicable (some forums do not have a Rules thread).
The International Music Database Project (IMDBP) has recently been merged back into the Petrucci Music Library above (see the corresponding news entry on PML for details and rationale). The IMDBP will officially go offline on April 22, 2009.
